B.
Although women used to dress similarly in the 70's without such a fuss being made. (Or maybe they did at the Acropolis)

If people carry on using the race card when there's no evidence of racial abuse, they'll run the risk of people just taking no notice which is sad for the 'real' victims of racial jibes

[ToraToraTora]

race card being played as usual but no actual racism.

[ladybirder]

Your headline says it all AOG. She does herself and more importantly people who do genuinely face racism, no favours. Silly woman.

Do Greece have a dress code for visitors to the Acropolis? It might just be that the person who reported her (saying she had lifted her dress up) was either a); disgusted by the transparency of her attire, or b) a racist. We'll never know, AOG.

[ToraToraTora]

sadly, it seems that the People of colour?(I don't even know the correct term these days) now claim racism every time something goes against them, thus the card is overplayed and it's like the boy who cried wolf.

[anotheoldgit]

Some should be taken to court for making false accusations.

A publicity hungry loudmouth. The police were right. She was wearing inappropriate clothing.

[ladybirder]

LOL Naomi, say what you really mean;-)

[Zacs-Master]

Did They arrest her because she was black? No! They arrested her because of her clothing.

Was this justified? Who knows. I can see nothing on the official Acropolis website that says anything about dress codes.

Must be lovely to be black and be able to blame anything against you as racist. Getting a bit silly now.

She'll be livid when she sees there's only one photo in the article after all that.

What's a 'travel blogger' to do?

[Zacs-Master]

Blogs about travel.

[aelmpvw]

outrageous, that yellow handbag was a big mistake

[naomi24]

She’ll have something useful to blog about now. What not to wear when visiting the Acropolis.

[LadyCG]

A woman with no pride in her appearance and a shameless race card player is what I can see.

[anneasquith]

She assumed she was going to a disco.

[Old_Geezer]

I doubt it's racist, but it is very sexy.
Probably the Greeks have different rules today from those they had in ancient times.

[pixie374]

I can't see any racism there, she should explain that part better.

[pastafreak]

I wonder if it's the possible lack of suitable underwear rather than skin colour that sparked a reaction...?

[Ken4155]

The thing is, she didn't just materialise at the Acropolis did she? She had to get there somehow so how come she wasn't arrested on the way there? Bit baffling when you only have one side of the story, isn't it?
