This Week In Race: A House That Flew Over The Ocean And A Man Who Didn't Get To Fly

You could say that it's been a pretty turbulent week on the race beat. United Airlines is embroiled in controversy, a Texas federal judge struck down the state's voter ID law and the comedian Charlie Murphy has died.

A Vietnamese-American man, David Dao, was violently pulled off a United flight on Sunday. Viral videos of his limp body being dragged down the aisle by officers — followed by more footage of him later running up and down the aisle, disoriented and insisting he needed to get home — sparked outrage on social media. Many Asian-Americans took to Twitter to express horror, and Weibo, a Chinese social media platform, lit up to point out that black people — specifically black men — have been the brunt of police violence too, and that they hoped Asian-Americans horrified by the United incident would now speak out against police violence against black men.
