How is this statement racist?
Voula Papachristou was kicked out of the Olympics after sending a tweet that read, "with so many Africans in Greece, at least the West Nile mosquitos will eat homemade food."
Am I missing something?
How is that racist? It's definitely clever and funny, but I can't see how it can be construed as racist.
Imagine a Chinese athlete wrote, "With so many Americans in Beijing, at least the mosquitos will be well fed" (a thinly-veiled comment about Americans being fat)
How dangerous is it when we lose our sense of humor?
The idiocy of Political Correctness is literally unfathomable. If I object to millions and millions of a certain nationality or race flooding into an area, that is racist? It is common sense that too much of anything is often bad. Would Saudi Arabia want millions of Americans flooding into their capital, demanding fast food and hamburgers? I learned Spanish and spent a year in
Spain because I like the language, but even I would not want any area in the U.S. to become so overrun with Spanish speaking people that it becomes like a foreign country translated to America.
