Unfortunately when you are handling something like 8 million passengers a
year, albeit they have names, there is still a need to classify. Even the
general public has classifications applied - i.e., men and women -- and
often there are differential facilities provided based on differing needs.
Don't find this helpful - are we trying to move forward or live in an
idealistic world that will never be achieved?
Like it or not, labels are a necessary fact of life. If they are necessary,
then perhaps we can look to see what is acceptable.

Dear all.
Human beings have names. Jars and tubs have labels.
Just another point of interest. Over christmas I caught the end of a
a business news report on tv which was talking about how large
American corporations have realised the true spending power of the
Latin community and are starting to target this.
I wonder wether this will lead to Latino only lounges, special
Latino sevices!!!
