Others said the episode showed that people of Chinese descent in the United States faced rampant discrimination.
“In the United States, Asians are often discriminated against,” one Weibo user wrote. “If it were a Muslim or black person, they wouldn’t have acted this way.”
Zhang Zishi, a student from the coastal province of Shandong who lives in Britain, started a petition on the website of the White House calling for a federal investigation into the case, using the hashtag #ChineseLivesMatters. By Tuesday evening the petition had exceeded its goal of attaining 100,000 signatures.
“I’ve learned from the media that there is a lot of racism in the United States,” Mr. Zhang, 18, said in a telephone interview. “I feel that Chinese people are treated unfairly.”
Joe Wong, a popular Chinese-American comedian, was among those urging a boycott of United Airlines.
“Many Chinese who have faced discrimination are unwilling to speak out because of their pride,” Mr. Wong wrote on Weibo. “Because of this attitude, neither mainstream Western media nor the public pays much attention to discrimination against Asians.”
That's right, China. USAmerican police treat Muslims and black people respectfully and politely. And nice hashtag.

I rote this yesterday - It's all about Karma and for some reason mainstream press is leaving off a few background details about the so called rush for the so called Doctor to get back to treating his patients
Dr. David Dao was charged in 2005 with 98 felony drug counts for illegally prescribing and trafficking painkillers. Prosecutors claimed Dao fraudulently filled prescriptions for hydrocodone, Oxycontin and Percocet.
Dr. Dao was also convicted on 6 felony counts of obtaining drugs by fraud and deceit and in 2005 was given 5 years probation.
Dao was also convicted for writing prescriptions and checks to a patient in exchange for sex.
In medical board documents ... Dao denied paying for sex, but indicated he accepted sexual favors from an associate in exchange for reducing a debt that associate owed him.
In February, 2005, Dr. Dao surrendered his license to practice medicine in Kentucky. In 2015 the medical board lifted the suspension and allowed him to practice medicine with some restrictions. Last year, the medical board imposed even more restrictions -- now he can only practice internal medicine in an outpatient facility one day a week.
Interestingly, and relevant to the United incident, one doctor assessing Dao's case said he had interpersonal problems, noting "... he would unilaterally choose to do his own thing."
He is a scum bucket. He will receive a huge amount of money and many will discover he deserved the same kind of hurt, he has handed out himself.

Probably more like his attitude was not so much so good. You and I no that when we get pulled over by a cop the very last thing we do is try and fight the cop no matter what the cop says. It is yes sir yes sir. One can fight the charge later in court. If the guy was smart enough to earn a Doc degree he should have been smart enough to keep his cool.
However for some blood and loss of time healing the sick which he probably makes sicker, he will end up with a huge check and mates of becky will end up able to buy a new boat or two with attorney fees

you don't think there is, just maybe, a reason black folks tend to have rough encounters with the police sometimes? why they tend not to trust police?

Of course. Massive number of reasons. One could of course put all the blame on history of USA and Slaves and paragraphs I could write about how with a bad foundation one cannot expect a stable house to be built and all of that which is frankly valid.
I am probably the only poster on MC TC that actually read the signs in Alabama that said "Whites Only"

Well, yeah, a lot of whyte people are terrified of being seen as racist against muslims or african americans. Chinese might be ethnic, but they're like, almost whyte people, apart from eating dogs.
