White althlete kicked out of olympics for racial joke

[Katzndogz]

That's not racial.

 

[Nosmo King]

Why is it the Left's fault? It's the fault of the athlete and the IOC.

You must study at the Rahm Emmanuel school of Never Let a Crisis Go to Waste.

She's representing her country. I guess Greece don't want to be associated with someone who apparently doesn't understand Olympic ideals.

 

[LogikAndReazon]

Morehyper- sensitive , womanly hysterics and politically correct over reactions from dimwitted serfs.......

poor Darlings................

More incredible intolerance from the left. Why do the hate free speech so much?

London 2012 Olympics: Greek athlete Voula Papachristou banned over racist 'joke' on Twitter | Mail Online

Kicked out for a racist tweet: Greek triple jumper is banned from the Games after her African 'joke'

PUBLISHED: 10:07 EST, 25 July 2012 | Voula Papachristou was kicked out of her national team for mocking African migrants and expressing support for a far-Right political party.
Her offending message – which was referring to reports of mosquitoes carrying the West Nile virus in her home country – read: ‘With so many Africans in Greece, at least the West Nile mosquitoes will eat home made food!’

So anything in the news that you don't like must be it's "the left".

The left is known and encourages knee jerk reactions for people making jokes and saying things the Gaystopo (liberal version of the Gestopo) doesnt like.

Sounds like intolerance from the athlete, who supports a far right wing party.

You think David Duke got her banned from the olympics?? Get your butt outta your head.

It's OK to be a racist shithead in the privacy of your own mind, but putting it in writing for all the world to see is another story, public speech carries with it the responsibility to face the consequences of being provocative or hateful, especially when the shithead in question happens to be a public figure representing her country.

Intolerance and racism is a left wing trait. They are the ones who gave us affirmative action, the govt mandated persecution of whites.

I must be racist because I don't see the racist in that statement....Somebody better give the bad news to my nieces....

In this case, the left are the ones who have created the climate of hyper-sensitivity, i.e. political correctness.

By the way, I like your Christian Slater and Tom Cruise avatar.

I guess so, because it's readily apparent to anyone used to "critical thinking".

If a black triple jumper said something like "why are white people here? Everybody knows they can't jump," would he be banned.?

How is what she said racist? It was a joke, but tell me what's not true.

 

[BDBoop]

If she didn't know it would be a repercussion, then it is unfair.

Why does it matter to you? Olympic Athletes are very much diplomats and are expected to act as such and serve at the pleasure of their country's respective Olympic committees, at best this is local news in Greece.

Please then, explain it to me...

Unless you believe all Africans are of one race, it can't be racist....

Depends entirely on the Olympic committee managing their country's team, why do you care?
