Back at the reunion, Andy asked just how often Mike and Nema experience this sort of racial profiling.
“I mean, it happens. It’s horrible,” Mike responded. “On the plane, this guy stole our seat but he was, you know, a lot lighter shades than we are, and he called over the flight attendant. The flight attendant didn’t even hear our story.”
He continued, “And we were with a producer that was African-American, and they were like, ‘You guys, off the plane.’ We’re like, ‘we’re not getting off, we need to get to Arizona.’ And the f–king police had to come and escort us off the plane. No joke.”
Nema described the incident as “humiliating.”
