The article does not state wheterh or not Motwani's row had been called
for boarding. If it had, then she may have a valid complaint. If it
had not, then she is in the wrong.

In no case does she appear to have a valid complaint for, as the article
says, "racial profiling".

She was told not to cut in line. They do this on an equal-opportunity basis.
If she was cutting, then she should shut up and get to the back of the line.
If she was not, then the person at the gate made a mistake.

The lynchpin of her case appears to be that the gate agent "enunciat[ed] his
words." Apparently it is racial profiling unless airline staff slur their
speech.

Of course it's also possible that this is just a really badly-written
article that fails to get the point across. It's a student paper.
