Typical story. Flight attendant won't believe black woman is doctor, believes random white guy instantly. 🙄 So typical it's boring.

One thing.
If you are ever that white guy-- the one who's believed without jumping through hoops & if you notice what's happening. (which isn't a natural thing to notice, but perk your ears up. you'll see)

Say something! It can be mild. Dry even. But, *don't* let it roll by. No one will think *you* are being angry & unreasonable.

@futurebird You mean we allow black people in universities now? Wow, who coulda guessed?

I'm not "a white guy" but I am often mistaken for one (I'm mixed).. I've never witnessed this personally but I dont doubt it happens. If i ever do I would be sure to say something, thats just idiotic.
