Two British Airways cabin crew members have been fired after mocking Chinese passengers in a video, the Daily Mail reported on Wednesday.
 

A viral video which has reached one million views on TikTok shows Holly Walton, a stewardess for British Airways, making slant-eyed gestures and appearing to imitate a Chinese accent, saying: "Give me wine."
 

The video was filmed at a hotel on the island of Antigua by Walton's colleague, Lauren Bray, and posted on Instagram in 2022. It was put on Tiktok several days ago.
 

Their colleagues expressed outrage over the video and said they were mimicking a Chinese family who spoke little English and struggled to be understood when ordering drinks on the busy holiday flight.
 

The pair were reported to have been recalled to headquarters by British Airways, where they were subsequently dismissed on Monday.
 

英航空姐涉嫌歧视中国乘客,被解雇

日前,一段“英航空姐嘲讽中国人”的视频在社交媒体平台被热传,视频观看量超过100万次。据英国《每日邮报》20日报道,涉事的两名空姐已经被英国航空解雇。
 

这两名空姐分别名为霍莉•沃尔顿(Holly Walton)和劳伦•布瑞(Lauren Bray),在视频中,沃尔顿身穿蓝色连衣裙,戴着红色眼镜,对着持手机拍摄的布瑞侮辱她们之前在机上遇到的中国乘客,嘲笑这些乘客不会说流利的英语,只能用带有“中国口音”的腔调要红酒。随后,沃尔顿还做了一个在西方包含歧视亚裔的“拉眼角”动作。
 

据外媒报道,二人曾是英国航空BA2157次航班的乘务员,视频拍摄地在安提瓜和巴布达一处豪华酒店。视频传播引发热议后,二人于18日被英国航空召回总部接受问责,随后被开除。
