She was stupid for making that remark but i dont think she should have been ejected from the games. Perhaps fined? Though that comment is really offensive :/
Good find OP! I also read this morning NK walked out of a football match because a SK flag got shown.
Can this ruddy country do anything right?

Who said it was a racist comment???
Certainly I didn't.
If you read the story carefully and all of you need to pay attention, she was most likely banned due to her affiliation with the political extremist groups and her tweets with them and subsequent deletes...and NOT her so-called racist tweet.
Folks, this has more to do with her political affiliation than it has to do with her so-called "racist" comment.
Read between the line ATSers.

Anyway, all those folks that support this racism are in good company. You are not the only folk who think this behaviour is acceptable;

Greece's far-right Golden Dawn party condemns the withdrawal of Greek athlete from the London Olympics for an anti-African tweet - @Reuters

How is it racist to tell a joke about mosquitos and Blacks?
If a Black person tells a joke about apple pie and Whites is that considered racist?
You seriously need to consider what you are saying. The joke is about bugs biting people. The joke is not demeaning or belittling Blacks. You have been brainwashed by the racists.

It's political correctness gone wild for this girl to be expelled, and lunacy on the part of those inflating the matter trying to make themselves look sensitive and offended.
Is there a special award for being the most upset or offended or something?
