That's not racist actually. Of course the word's meaning has completely disappeared into the vast abyss of politically correct stupidity.
Free speech does not exist outside the USA, which always is a surprise to Americans who have never lived anywhere but here.

yes lets flood a nation with foreign nationals who 1) have no respect for the country 2) work off the books at lower rates 3) turn living standards into utter shit for about 98% of the country.

then let's make it illegal to comment or even JOKE about it.

Greeks have extremely high unemployment rate, wth are Africans doing there?

Obligatory:

She can eat crackers in my bed anytime.

Call me cracker!

MoneySheep says

with so many Africans in Greece, at least the West Nile mosquitos will be eating food from their own home."

Yeah, this does not sound like racism, but rather one athlete talking shit about others. Not sure what the point it, but it sounds far more like a nationalist taunt than a racial comment like "at least all the sheep will feel loved now that the Scotts are here". Perhaps tasteless, but hardly racist.

And don't athletes commonly taunt their opponents? If the NY Mets said the Detroit Tigers smelled bad, would that be racist just because Detroit has a large black population? I don't think so.

The Olympic committee looks like it's just being politically correct. It's trying to avoid a controversy and is willing to brush aside an athlete to do so.

Obligatory:

Yep, she is hot.

not racist, until it involves a non-negro speaking about a negro.

I bet the africans would still bang her.

For some reason, we assume that the athletes are better than this. That they would hold some personal feelings back rather than to make a comment that can be construed as racist. The amount of time, money & energy that is poured into oly athletes should be considered before they post something that stupid in social media.

I can see where some might feel that the comment was racist.

True, but the only way to construed it as racist is to assume that the very word African is racist, but it's not. The thing is, the comment doesn't actually say anything derogatory. It actually doesn't say anything at all -- like most tweets -- other than there are mosquitoes in Africa and that humans are food to mosquitoes. Both statements are true, but not particularly relevant to anything.

It's like she was trying to make a joke, but there was no punchline to it. Then again, maybe it's funnier in Greek.

oh, and she is not bad, but not my type.

What is your type? :-)

She's not shy - got her beef curtains hanging out in that last shot.

Most athletes are assholes. Excepting myself.

JodyChunder says

Most athletes are assholes.

That's why I never work out.

Doesn't look like beef curtains. Looks like anabolic steroid induced vasculature. Maybe they kicked her out before the tests did.

Racial tension has been on the rise in Greece over the last couple of years..
Probably competition between immigrants and locals, for jobs, business opportunities, etc.

Seems, the youth may have a bit of a handle on it as well.

Greek gals are generally good looking but they all get them big crazy noses. This gal got lucky or had some surgery.

It was definitely wrong to expell her from the Olympics for that comment. The punishment did not fit the crime.

She could have expressed her opinion with better taste, but overall, it's not fair to take away something she worked for for several years for that.

Sophia Loren circa 1965

you?

the old greeks were fair, and blonde, and light boned, the illyrian people who came later are darker, swarthier and have big noses.

she's old mycenean.

she's gorgeous too.

She's pretty, but Taylor Swift is drop-dead gorgeous.

APOCALYPSEFUCK is Shostakovich says

Yeah, but can Taylor Swift suck and fuck with savage abandon 24 hours a day for a week without breaking a sweat?

If I could answer that question, I'd be the happiest man in the world.

Every song Taylor Swift writes is about a boy who slept with her and dumped her. How many albums has she released again?

Keep your sewer minds & filthy eyes off my sisters

APOCALYPSEFUCK is Shostakovich says

Yeah, but can Taylor Swift suck and fuck with savage abandon 24 hours a day for a week without breaking a sweat? An Olympian female must be perfectly prepared for carnal union. Big and fat is great, they don't get skittered up the sheets when you're hammering them. But in perfect shape like that, holy christ, no amount of full-bore pestorking could move them, able to throw themselves up at you or down at you in perfect synchronization for hours and hours at a time. Swift just looks too fragile to really give the good news.

I'm with you in that I like a woman whot makes me feel I've really been somewhere ..but when your hip starts flaring up on you real bad, suddenly, those feather weights waif start to look half-decent. Bruise your tip tho...

Dan, Are you also Greek ? By all the hot photo posting I'm thinking all the blood from your head is rushing to your nose.

Yeah, I don't hear the blacks stating "Me thinks you protest too much". Eliminating anyone for that comment was just a typical response to terrorist psychology. One psycho threatens NBC with "The mother of all wars" and we order gubmint agencies (TSA) to probe 80 year old quadriplegic air travelers.
Is it obvious they terrorized us ?

I used to have these dating rules:
I dated no man whose hair was prettier than mine, whose butt was smaller than mine, and whose breasts were larger than mine... (think body builder, then the last one makes sense).

Now they must be breathing, or have been breathing recently. "Recently" is open to interpretation, btw. :)

My rule was that she must be funny and must find me funny.

I never dated. ever. I'm too cheap.
