OLYMPICS OR POLITICAL CORRECTNESS SHOW? ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Triple jumper Voula Papachristou was expelled from Greece's Olympic team Wednesday for her comments on Twitter mocking African immigrants and expressing support for a far-right party. The Hellenic Olympic Committee said Wednesday that Papachristou had been excluded from the team "for statements contrary to the values and ideas of the Olympic movement." The political correctness police must be having a field day, again. And, since this olympian has been expelled - when will entire teams be expelled since the governments of the countries they represent are far greater offenders? Oh,,,, I see,,, not the best political move to make. How convenient, how selectively critical, how $^@#@&!!!
"RACISM HAS NO PLACE IN THE LONDON OLYMPICS": A Greek Triple jumper Voula Papachristou was expelled from Greece's Olympic team Wednesday for her comments on Twitter mocking African immigrants. Papachristou wrote: "With so many Africans in Greece, the West Nile mosquitoes will be getting home food!!!". Her tweet prompted thousands of negative comments that snowballed Wednesday. pressing support for a far-right party. Was curious as to what Voula Papachristou said that got her expelled; here's the infamous tweet: "With so many Africans in Greece… At least the West Nile mosquitoes will eat home made food!!!"
"with so many Africans in Greece, at least the West Nile mosquitos will be eating food from their own home." - Voula Papachristou, its funny!!
it's unthinkable to restrict her to join the Olympic for me is one form of harassment and discrimination too! there are people who said such worst than her's like jesus of nazareth.

But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs.
yeah! even Jesus said something bad to the people of Samaria. But Samaritans admitted it without any complain of what they are in the eyes of Jews.
so my question what are really the guidelines of that discrimination law wants to imply?
