oh man, I forgot about that one. Is it passe now? Can we work on bringing it back?

:hmm:

lol OK, so I'm not current on my racism. It actually took me awhile to think of that one. This stuff doesnt come up in normal conversation.

How is the "joke" even racist? I don't see anything in it that implies the superiority of one race over another.

pretty much it. I wouldn't have given it a 2nd thought. the only reason its a issue now is she has been kicked off the team. if they would have punished her and apologized it would have been forgotten like the spanish mens team doing the eye slant t hing years ago.


edit: i think the right punishment would be for her to spend the evening with me in bed.

lol that was definitely worse. She must have had no chance of winning a medal. Its harder to take the high ground when there is something actually at stake.

So I read thru all the posts here and no one mentioned that fascism is running rampant in Greece. The Golden Dawn group is running around beating up anyone who doesn't look like they are a native of Greece. They are bombing, killing and maiming there way to a racially pure Greece.

Maybe the female athlete should have at least given a moments thought before tweeting. Or, for all we know, she is a member of Golden Dawn.

Context is important.


Oh, and would hit.

This is being blown way out of proportion. I don't see how it's racist. She's talking about a country not an ethnic group. The country is mostly black so it's assumed she was being racists. Is she stupid? Yep. Should she have been kicked from the Olympics? Eh, I can go either way. The whole point of the Games is bringing all countries together in piece. So if they do I can understand but I don't think it was racist.


And yes, she's smoking hot.

I've seen enough porn to know whats going on in the rest of that picture and I approve! (Although you'd think there would be more dirt on her face or whatever that stuff is from having her face rammed into the ground - but maybe they just started or something...)

It's not a dirt-eating competition. She's competing in triple jump.

Granted, I'd much rather watch a dirt-eating competition. That would be entertaining as shit.

Wow she looks like a girl I dated in college. Very hot.

I think that girl was racist, too....

Seriously though, this seems like a harsh kneejerk reaction. Claiming the mosquitos would feast on their native food when every nation in the world has people there is like saying the McDonald's is gonna be happy to have the American team in town.

She probably get death threats by now from people who got their precious ego offended because being racist isn't allowed under free speech.

When did Africa become a country?

I dont see how this comes close to being racist. She didnt say black people, she said Africans. A lot of other people live on that continent.

Its implied she meant black people, because just looking at white africans you cannot tell they are from africa. Maybe she meant the lighter skinned arab looking ones that are now in northern africa. In any case, she was talking sh1t about some group of people. And if she was ugly, not only would everyone show her butt the door, but kick her through it so she'd face plant in the street! She's still free to talk all the sh1t she wants, she just has to do it from home.
