Woman was humiliated when American Airlines made her wrap a blanket over her summer outfit, lawyer says

American Airlines has apologized to a woman who says she was humiliated after being told she couldn't fly unless she covered up her romper.

"We are policed for being black. Our bodies are over sexualized as women and we must ADJUST to make everyone around us comfortable. I've seen white women with much shorter shorts board a plane without a blink of an eye. I guess if it's a 'nice ass' vs a @Serena Booty it's okay..." she tweeted.Airline spokeswoman Shannon Gilson said the company is investigating.

Rowe, a Houston family medicine doctor, said her 8-year-old son"was devastated" by the incident and took the blanket once they were seated and covered his face, her attorney Geoffrey Berg said. He was in tears when she checked on him, Berg said.
