    Was also thinking that if you do not make someone feel welcome does that make you a racist?

    No... i'm saying what was her intention with that comment. Why did she say it ?

    Sure there are a lot of Africans over there, its the Olympics... but there are Chinese and Indians as well.

    Are they not allowed to be there ?

    Is she talking about Egyptian Africans (where the West Nile Mozzies live) or is she talking about other Africans... the tweet is hardly clear....

    Thumbs down Plague

    The West Nile mosquito carries some pretty nasty passengers
    With the influx of persons from Africa to Europe the mosquito's are following ( in all the tramp steamers and refugee rafts )

    However she should rather have had some guts and told the truth !

    ie MOST Europeans do NOT want African "refugees" in Europe.
    I am prepared to lay down good money that her comments represent the feelings of maybe 80% of Greeks
    Who are just to damn scared of the PC brigade to stand up and tell the TRUTH !

    Why do they not want Africans. What about all the other non-Europeans? Americans, Indians, Chinese, etc. All welcome?

    What is it with these people tweeting racist tweets? Don't they think before they tweet their nonsense?

    Ow well, at the end of the day, she screwed herself over.

    No, over-sensitive people screwed her over. Free speech is dead. Really, the PC line just gets narrower by the day?

    Take her tweet and replace "african" with "australian". Is it still racist then?

    The thing they don't want is a refugee that would arrive and be a drain on the country without providing some skills or wealth, I don't think they're against having Africans there at all (much like people in SA would complain about illegal immigrants coming here from Zimbabwe etc and our taxes have to support them too)
