not really racist is it... no-one would care if it was against the English/French/Germans/Americans/any other mostly 'white' country...

Not incredibly racist but it was enough for her to be removed from the team. The committees happen to be very touchy over anything that can be labelled as racist.

It also depends on who reads it and who it is from.

And another tweet, although not quite as embarrassing as appearing at a stag meeting where peeps wore nazi uniforms and did heil salutes.

QuoteA Tory MP has made a grovelling climbdown after tweeting that the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games was "leftie multicultural crap".

Didn't stop her collecting on all the bets from the Tory toffs though! 

Not a great start to the Olympics either. We ain't won any medals on the first day.

I can't believe how the officials managed to screw up and place the South Korean flag up. It's not even similar!!

And another oops.

Furious Indian officials are demanding answers from organisers about the apparent lack of security after a woman gatecrashed India's athletes' parade at the Olympic opening ceremony.

A woman in red and blue walked close to flag-bearing wrestler Sushil Kumar on Friday, in complete contrast to female members of the contingent who were wearing yellow saris and blue blazers.

Not really a security issue because she had the pass, she was one of the performers and got "over excited" and she was the one being stupid. When you are on eof the performers etc there you have a massive responsibility to not be a dick.
I think with the amount of people there they all did very good jobs, at any time they could have gone "I LOVE YOU MUM" or something but didnt.
But, UK being UK there is always one! lol.
