[Fwd: Baboons]
water when she was arrested and charged with crimen injuria on Monday
morning.
The woman, who cannot be named as she has not appeared in court, was
arrested after she compared strikers to *baboons* and said they
intimidated people with their *grunting noises*. She did not participate
in the strike.
Warrant Officer Duane Lightfoot, of the Sunnyside police station,
confirmed that she had been arrested and said she was still in custody.
She will appear in the Pretoria Magistrate's court on Tuesday.

Since this is regarded a "racist" incident, it's safe to assume the
unnamed woman is white. Were she black or Indian, there'd likely be no
brouhaha.
Now, let's venture the far flung assumption of a bunch of white folks
going on strike and then leaving a mess behind. Should anyone calling
them "pigs" be considered a racist as well (irrespective whether that
person is black or white)?

calling people baboons or pigs based on the colour of their skin is racist...i really do not understand the point you were trying to make...now you sound like the racist *smh...
Let's call some white people "baboons" and black people "pigs", and suddenly it's not a racist issue?
