An economics professor at the University of Pennsylvania, originally from Italy, was just scribbling down math equations on a piece of paper while waiting for his American Airlines flight to take off, but the passenger next to him thought he was up to no good. So the woman sitting next to Guido Menzio alerted a flight attendant that she was “sick” and after the plane, American Eagle Flight 3950, was delayed on the tarmac for nearly 30 minutes Thursday, Menzio was removed from the aircraft by a pilot, along with his fake-ill neighbor. Menzio, revered for his search theory work and also has experience teaching at Princeton and Stanford universities, was then questioned by a customer service manager for the airline and local security, contracted by American Airlines, on suspicion of terrorism because of his note-taking, according to the Washington Post.

Protip: The plural form is "Americans". If you stick an apostrophe in there you are indicating possession of something. And if you were trying to indicate possession the apostrophe should be after the s, not before it. Example: "Most Americans' cars use gasoline and not nuclear power."

So racial slurs are now acceptable first names?

Shitty job by the editor of this piece. I had to read this four times until I just assumed there should be an additional period in there somewhere.

If I had my flight delayed for nearly 30 damn minutes because some dumb bitch couldn't discern advanced mathematics from Arabic I would be inclined to call her a count to her face.
