If you read the article you get the impression that her real sin is publically supporting the views of Golden Dawn, a formerly marginal extreme right party that entered the Greek Parliament in the recent two national elections.
Besides pictures of her indicate a young woman who couldn't be guilty of anything [at link]. Still its nice to know the forces of political correctness are just as rabid in Greece, birthplace of democratic thought, as they are here in the US. That's most comforting.
Question: If you make a joke about Africans, how is that racist? Africa has MANY races: Arabs, Blacks, Boers, Indians, Copts, etc.
IMHO, to assume that someone is referring to a specific race when someone says “African” is racist.
If they're running the mile, blacks should only have to complete three laps. If it's a shooting event, blacks should be given perfect scores on the first one-quarter of the course.
That's the only way to punish the girl, and the white race in general. /s
You’re exactly right. Nothing “racist” at all in her African-west Nile virus comment; her terrible offense is simply her support of a conservative political movement. Shame on Greece!
This should make front page, above-the-fold headlines in the NY Slimes.
