Viola Papachristu had the misfortune to tweet the innocuous... �With so many Africans (immigrants) in Greece, the West Nile (infected) mosquitoes at least eat home-made food.� Yepper, sounds racist to me  Prob'ly not coicidentally she leans right wing on politics, the Greek Olympic Committee leans the other. http://domaingang.com/domain-news/r...voula-papachristou-from-london-olympics/![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v148/Sharpshin/Voula_Papachristou1_c59ae.jpg) Hope she makes a mint on the calendar.

I put that on my FB and asked exactly what she said that wasn't true. So far no takers.

One of the most popular jokes told to me by the locals while i was in Mexico:
"Hey wedo, why aren't there any mexican swimmers or high jumpers in the olympics? Because they live in the US now!!"
I replace valve cover gaskets every 50K, if they don't need them sooner...

I put that on my FB and asked exactly what she said that wasn't true. So far no takers. Never thought about it before, but there's at least a couple of mosquito species in Greece that are common right here in San Antonio.... http://www.mosquitocatalog.org/files/pdfs/MS25N03P177.PDFMost of the rest appear to be endemic to the Meditteranian, and while a few are also prob'ly found in North Africa, almost no mosquities IN Greece were hatched in Africa. So technically the statement ain't true. Now, the VIRUS came from Africa but she didn't say that. More to the point, Ms. Papachristou is apparently a Greek Nationalist, and troubled by the level of immigration to Greece. Obviously a taboo topic to Greek Libs. Here she is again  , a sad loss for the Olympics, I hope she can appeal. ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v148/Sharpshin/24hrcamp/Voula_Papachristou_d9e0c.jpg) Birdwatcher

It's best to not risk slighting the African, for they surely are the most blessed of any known human. Blessed with the big butt, or the big dong, the whole world knows, they can do no wrong.

Anything you put anywhere online should be presumed to be seen by everyone in the worst possible light....
She made a stupid post and paid for it - I'm not going to lose any sleep over it...

Yea, free speech ain't all it's cracked up to be, especially when it isn't .

Athletes are emissaries of their respective countries. This infers acting in a manner positively refelcting on said country from which they're receiving funding. Pretty funny how some on this forum hold people to a high standard of self-responsibility in some cases and are willing to abide stupidity in others� She made a jacka$$ statement and got kicked off the team end of story. She is free to continue exercising her freedom of speech.

Did she hurt your feelings? Was she not nice the way your teacher told you to be? I have an idea - GFY.

That post is so dumb any reply is as wasted as the air that the poster steals.

I see no way that her comments should offend anyone. I see no racism or condemnation of any group.
Some people just want to find a reason to get offended and pitch a hissy fit.
They need to grow up.

Why is it OK to censor speech, but not OK to make a joke?
Ignorance is not confined to uneducated people.

I suggest you call Holder at DOJ and have her extradited so Obama can prosecute her for a hate crime. Then contact the SPLC and request she be put on the US terrorist-hate group watch list. Take yer guilt over to Huffingtonpost Yea, free speech ain't all it's cracked up to be, especially when it isn't . Huh...guess I missed where she got arrested...??? Tortured too???
