What about this? Is this racist? Sure it's crass and not that funny but racist?
A greek athlete has been banned from attending the Olypics for what is headlined as a racist tweet.
"A storm erupted on Greek social media after Papachristou’s tweet on Monday. Media outlets have translated the tweet to the following: ‘‘With so many Africans in Greece… At least the West Nile mosquitoes will eat home made food!!!”
(By the way - in case anyone wants to have a go at me, for the record I think it's racist, sexist, discriminatory, homophobic, disrespectful of the indigenous and any other offense you want to attribute to it - OK?)
