The jokes and the Lee Ryan memes on social media hit the nail on the head in terms of his racially offensive conduct and his arrogance towards a Black flight attendant.
But the truth is, his behaviour on that plane was no laughing matter. Not for the attendant or the many black women who have been in the distressing position she found herself in.
Ryan told the flight attendant that he wanted her “chocolate children”, implying that the only reason he was attracted to her was because she was black. He used an offensive term to describe the children they - in his mind - would have.
