Inappropriate Humour

I agree, it is not racist to say that Africans (she did not even specify black Africans, she just said Africans) come from Africa and that the West Nile virus originated in Africa, because those are true and it does not belittle Africans or in any way imply that they are inferior to anyone, she just said where they came from. If some people are so sensitive about their origins so as to think that anytime someone mentions where they come from is racist, that is their problem and I hope they overcome their insecurities. [/quote]

Lol. I just love how to some people, when minorities point out racism, it means they are insecure, hate themselves or have some inferiority complexes. When it’s not ‘‘race card’’ or ‘‘get over it’’ is this new insecurity shit. Really? Hahaha!

It would have been racist and wrong of her to blame Africans for the virus or to say something along the lines of Africans are the ones who deserve to get sick, but merely observing that Africans come from Africa and so did the West Nile virus is most definitely not racist. Now, claiming that the mosquitoes in Greece came from Africa is incorrect, but that is another matter. [/quote]

That bitch posted far right comments even before the mosquito ‘‘joke’’. She’s a big supporter of a Neo Nazi party. And of course, she didn’t have to WRITE the virus (I’m sure you’re aware of the recent outbreaks of Virus Nile in Greece) was brought to her country by Africans. She just had to insinuate it. Also, it’s as if she insinuating that only Africans should get the Virus. Sickening.

Yes, not all Africans are blacks. There are Arabs and even white Africans. But which part of Africa does the West nile Virus originate from? I’m sure you know the answer :slight_smile: So, yeah, her comment was quite offensive. And the fact she compete in an event in which most Africans take part… smfh. Fuck her.

Anyway, we’ll interpret her ‘‘joke’’ in different ways. Right? Some will think she wasn’t being racist and other won’t think that way. Fine by me. She’s not competing and that’s cool with me.

The Greek Olympic committee kept her on the team in spite of her neo-Nazi sympathies. This was most likely the last straw. They probably felt their plans to bring a positive spotlight on the country would be overshadowed by her reputation and antics, so they laid down the law on her in the worst way. That bitch knew exactly what she was doing. She just never expected her antics would finally catch up to her during what would have been the best moment of her life.

Good fucking riddance.

That was probably racist.

You know, there was a time where you called someone racist if he used words like n*****, k*** or s*** or, maybe, a drawn out boyyyy, along with a sner.

Now, we all need to search whether someone is offended or not to determine whats racist.

Well, that bullshit offends me.

On a completely different note, mosquitoes suck out your soul bit by bit, no wonder gingers are safe.

Maybe we can agree on that much, mosquitoes are not racist.

They just like me more than you.

Yay…

Ginger is a racist word.

I would appreciate it if you would stop using it in my presence.

You don’t need to use the N wword to be racist.

Oh by the way, welcome back Houston Guy.[/quote]
You do need racist intent to be racist. Can you show hers? Not her position as an Olympic athlete but the racism in her comment. I see prejudice, mostly torwards mosquitoes and their alleged preferential meals but as mentioned, African encompasses multiple races. It’s a continent, not a race.

Read my reply to DrMatt. It’s all there.

Now I’ll put you on ignore just like I’ve done many times before with your other aliases.

Good night.

Your reply explained nothing. It’s not a racist joke. Where is the racism in the joke?

Seen the right way, you are nothing but a giant mosquito?

This.

Racist or not, the Olympic games are no place to be “cutting edge” or inappropriate or political or what ever the hell you want to lable what she said as. There is no First Amendment for the Olympics, and there shouldn’t be.

I have no problem with the OC trying to keep the games held to the highest standard. Shit they should kick out more people.

Don’t like being held to the highest standard they can set on and off the court/track/beach/slope/pool/whatever? Don’t go for Gold then.

Also, the only English slur I know is “cracker” and that is not much, is it?

If it is any help, we have plenty in Europe for each other.

Lol.

I don’t need to provide proof. Go find it yourself. It’s all out there in the webs. As well as her tweets showing her support to that Greek racist party (if not already deleted).

See, I thought the mosquito joke was pretty funny in terms of inappropriate humor. It didn’t single out any individual victim while making light of a sad situation. It’s also primo shit talking between competing athletes.

It’s funny in the same vein as Dave Chapelle or Carlos Mencia, but when black people are the butt, look out! It’s institutionalized racism.[/quote]

I don’t think it was particularly clever or racist. THe exact quote was:

"“With so many Africans in Greece, at least the mosquitoes of West Nile will eat homemade food!!!” she tweeted Sunday. "

That’s tasteless, and I suspect a racist intent given her political affiliation, but the comment itself is correct: the West Nile Virus origiated in Africa, along with the immigrants.

+++++++

I would actually contrast it directly with the Swiss soccer player that was expelled today, who was just talking trash and probably had no racist intent, but said racist things about the Korean football team – they were a “bunch of mongoloids.”

+++++++

Then there is Iranian racism where their players all suddenly get ‘ill’ before competing with Israeli athletes and thus forfeit. Or perhaps they just don’t want to killed at home if they lose to a Joooooooooo.

But I thought a honky is a very specific white guy?

Maybe gweilo or gai-jin, but this is not really English you long nosed foreign devil, is it not?
