Cathay Pacific discrimination scandal: Hong Kong equality watchdog warns cabin crew may have violated racial discrimination law indirectly

Cabin crew members of Cathay Pacific Airways might have violated the discrimination ordinance indirectly if they provided conditional services, Hong Kong’s equality watchdog on Thursday warned while pointing to an intra-racial law under discussion.

Equal Opportunities Commission chairman Ricky Chu Man-kin expressed hope legislation on intra-racial discrimination covering mainland Chinese people could be completed as soon as possible, saying his group had yet to reach a consensus with the government on terms.
