She got what she deserved. Her anger over being banned just shows she has little remorse for what she said and she comes off as very immature.
Olympic athlete banned from participating because of racist joke on Twitter

It goes back to the old notion of the whiter you are the better. What I mean by this is that back during feudalism and what not, nobles stayed in their manors to stay as pale as possible because tans (which you got from working in the sun all day) were a sign of poverty. Its is a reason that some Asians look down on Southeastern Asians (ever notice that they are darker in color compared to Koreans/Chinese/Japanese). Add to that the media portrayal of Blacks and you have what you have to today.at that Beijing pic...

You clearly have an agenda which you showed in other threads as of late so I'm not addressing you.

i am anti-racist as anyone.
yes the "joke" was kinda foul, but WHO cares what SHE has to say?
And to BAN her from the olympics?? something shes probably worked her whole life for?
its not like she said F N-words...
just sayin..
usually olympic participation happens once in a lifetime for an atlhlete. Kinda harsh.

the N word is a derogatory term used to address African Americans. She was specifically referencing Africans, so I have no idea how it affected them, but any sort of racism in an event that is meant to bring the world together should be met with zero tolerance

What people fail to realize is she is a Olympic athlete, OLYMPIC meaning she represents a county. For better or worst, her opinions and views will be broadcast on a international. What was Greece to do? Keep her and then face critics saying Greece in turns supports racism since they kept her. Even though the story broke because of the expulsion, it would have made bigger headlines when it was eventually found while at the games. Greece can't afford to look bad in the wake of it's financial melt down so her banning was the best, and correct move.

not sarcasm here...this is a real question. do you play sports? if so which? because if you do and you've done something really nice (dunk, crossover, touchdown, stiff arm) you have experienced that elation. celebration is how we naturally react when we're overjoyed bruh. and we're not talking about children. the other basketball teams are big boys. they'll get over the USA celebration. it's all fun man. why so serious?

Because it used to be the other way around.
" Dark skin " rule once governed the globe.
European conquest turned that construct upside down in their favor.
But as the saying goes...."what goes around, comes around."

That's just ignorant. She got what she deserved. Dumbass. She's only average with nice legs, IMO.

Sad part was she was really banned because of her being involved in golden dawn.

Check this out... This is acceptable in other countries.

I wouldn't even bother having one if I were famous or I would just let a marketing person have one for me.
She looks like what lady gaga would look like if she were attractive.
