Two British Airways crew members have been fired for making an “obscene” racist video in which they mocked Asian passengers by making slant-eyed gestures and using a Chinese accent.

Holly Walton and Lauren Bray were both fired from the airline after the clip surfaced on TikTok.

In it, Ms. Walton wears a blue dress with red-tinted glasses on her head and says in a Chinese accent, “Give me some wine.”

She then appears to be gesturing with slanted eyes as a bottle of Antigua’s national beer, Wadadli, sits on the table in front of her.

The video was allegedly filmed with his colleague Ms Bray, who has since deactivated her Instagram account.

Ms Bray reportedly left the meeting in tears.

A BA crew member said The sun: ‘This recording is obscene. For anyone to have such racist thoughts, then film them and share them with the world, is both shocking and stupid.

“This is extremely damaging to the airline and it deserved the axe.”

An airline spokesperson said: “All forms of racism are completely unacceptable and we take allegations of this nature very seriously.

“These two people are no longer employed by us.”
