"We spoke a different language on the plane and now we're getting kicked out," said Saleh. "I cannot believe my eyes."
Some of the passengers voiced their displeasure with the situation, while others stayed quiet.
Saleh is a 23-year-old American YouTube star, with more than 1.6 million followers.
The #BoycottDelta hashtag has picked up steam on Twitter.
Delta released this statement:
Two customers were removed from this flight and later rebooked after a disturbance in the cabin resulted in more than 20 customers expressing their discomfort. We're conducting a full review to understand what transpired. We are taking allegations of discrimination very seriously; our culture requires treating others with respect.
