Greek triple jumper removed from Olympic team after making racist comments on Twitter

Greek triple jumper Voula Papachristou was banished from the Olympic Games on Wednesday after making racist comments and expressing right-wing sentiments on Twitter.

Papachristou was scheduled to fly to London next week from her training base in Athens when the Hellenic Olympic Committee – Greek’s Olympic federation – made the decision to expel her from the team.

Papachristou, 23, made a racist and tasteless comment on her Twitter account, @papaxristoutj, that highlighted the number of African immigrants in Greece.

“With so many Africans in Greece … at least the West Nile mosquitos will eat homemade food!!!,” Papachristou wrote. She also reposted a comment from controversial Greek politician Ilias Kasidiaris, who has strongly criticized his government’s “soft” immigration policy.

Sadly, this is the least surprising thing I’ve read all day.

Greeks. Just super, super racist people. (Obviously not all Greeks. But any anti-racist Greek will admit, Greece has an absurdly high number of open, ardent racists, on a per capita basis.)
