		</div><p>A popular YouTuber has claimed he was kicked off a Delta airlines flight from London to New York for speaking Arabic to his mum on the phone, while waiting for the plane to take off.</p>
<p>Adam Saleh, who has 2.2 million subscribers and is known for prank videos, posted a video of himself apparently distressed after he said other passengers complained about him making them “uncomfortable”.</p>
<p>Other passengers can be seen waving goodbye as Saleh and his friend are ejected.</p>

<p>“Are you serious? I’m about to cry right now. Because we said a word in a different language? And there’s six white people against us bearded men?… How about you kick them (out)? I feel uncomfortable,” Saleh says.<br />
After being removed from the plane Saleh said they were made to speak to the police and go through a further security check, before ending up on a different airline’s plane to New York.</p>
<p>#BoycottDelta quickly became a popular hashtag, and began trending worldwide.</p>
<p>This is not eh first time Delta has been sucked into controversial events</p>
<p>In August a couple in the US said they were removed from a Delta flight for using a phone and saying the word “Allah”, while in October it was alleged staff on one of the company’s flights refused to believe a black woman was really a doctor.</p>
<p>Saleh was recently the subject of controversy when claiming he had flown in a suitcase between Melbourne and Sydney, an incident airline TigerAir disputed had happened.</p>

<p>Another video he produced in 2014 which purported to show police officers reacting differently to people in western clothing and traditional Muslim clothing proved to have been staged.</p>
<p>A statement from Delta read: <i>“Two customers were removed from this flight and later rebooked after a disturbance in the cabin resulted in more than 20 customers expressing their discomfort.</p>
<p>“We’re conducting a full review to understand what transpired. We are taking allegations of discrimination very seriously; our culture requires treating others with respect.”</i></p>
