A woman, dubbed 'LAX Karen,' was banned from United Airlines after a racist outburst against an Indian American family on a shuttle bus at LAX. The incident, captured by photographer Pervez Taufiq, began on a flight from Cancun when the woman displayed hostility towards Taufiq's son. Upon arrival, she continued her tirade, questioning the boy's ethnicity and insulting the family. United employees intervened, and the woman, reportedly intoxicated, was removed from the bus. The incident highlights ongoing racial tensions and the diverse contributions of Indian Americans.
