Or, the nation is divided on a topic but can't talk about it openly so they wait until a clown messes up, lambaste the clown for it and make them go away so that they can continue to not address the issue that is dividing the nation and we are back to square 1.
We don't have a problem to discuss this issue openly. However, in order to solve the problem, we need a little help from some other clowns called "politicians". So, the politics related to the illegal immigration issue that have been adopted all these years must be changed for the common good. Actually, I don't remember at least one party in government which dared to take some really drastic measures. It seems that it's not something easy for them to understand.

The girl might indeed be racist.
The Golden Dawn might indeed be racist.
The tweet is in poor taste, displays poor judgement, and at best does not take into account the sociopolitical environment in Greece. However read strictly for what was tweeted, you cannot argue that it is racist in any meaningful sense.
In order for it to be understood meaningfully as racist, you have to do the following:
Pap...I hope its "her" calling them "dirty black folks" and not you. Right?
Of course! It's not exactly what she said. I just extracted that from her tweet. Irony. If she had posted something like that, we would have a diplomatic episode.
Which is to say, extrapolate from what was actually said and apply one's own opinions about Greek culture, politics, and this tweeter specifically (the last of which being of course impossible for any of us to do objectively).
btw,i really feel sorry for her..
she is young,beautiful and most of all a very good athlete..that try so hard.
this years her jumps was amazing and had the chance to get a medal..
but with her racist comment -joke,destroy all...
i guess alot of you think is a hard penalty to banned her from the games,but i really kinda understand the people give her the penalty
except the fact that its a political game,exable,an olympian athlete do a racist comment,represent Greece etc..
she probably is a voter of specific party,all the rest parties dont want,
there is an another thing..
at her triple jump sport,the half of her co-athletes from other Countries,have different color skin ,there are African,African-American etc....
so ,this will be bad for the games and maybe create situation noone likes..
we have a proverb in Greece says:
"Better chew than speak"
"...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".
"..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."
“..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”
"...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".
"..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."
“..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”
she probably is a voter of specific party,all the rest parties dont want
I still can't understand why two right-wing parties (specifically Independent Greeks & Golden Dawn in this order) came out to defend her at the first place? Is it just a matter of same political ideologies here or another political interest (e.g., gain popularity amongst voters of her age)? They're more like rhetorical questions. A food for thought.
