Comedian Gary Owen is usually all about the jokes but it wasn’t a laughing matter when his wife allegedly was racially profiled by a Delta airlines ticket agent.
On Sunday, Owen, who is white, took to social media and made an Instagram video about the moment his wife Kenya Duke, who is Black, was confronted by an agent on a flight from Cincinnati to San Francisco, Yahoo reports.

“So they tell everyone to line up for first [class],” Owen says in the video. “My wife gets in line and the guy working the gate…asks my wife, ‘Oh, are you in first?’”
Owen, who has starred in films like Think Like a Man, said his wife first answered yes and then she followed up and asked the agent if he was going to ask the white man behind her the same question.
