    In that thing you call a closet. Better watch out,
    A person that is speaking a language that you simply couldn't understand. Don't be so fucking stupid.

    Hmm lets see she was either speaking Arabic or Farsi, two languages that are very common in the middle east, so all of a sudden "that girl from afghanistan" could be "that girl from...." i highly doubt the original comment was meant to be racist at all.

    How is saying "Afgan girl" racist. Its like saying "Rostam is American" is racist. Honestly, just because the person happens to be from the Middle East doesn't mean that any general classification of any sort is racist. STFU Rostam.

    And Aekiel, Eurovision is 100 times better than any show of this nature, not that that says much, considering the quality of Eurovision this year.

    Though, Britain's entry this year looks to be quite good :D

    Go back again and read what he said, I'm sure you'll find it actually made a good deal of sense.

    Looking at KG's post, he said "how else would you describe a girl from Afghanistan, and Rostam replied with, "Someone who speaks a language you can't understand. Which I would have to say, is correct.

    KG replied with
    First off, I'm fairly sure everyone knew that it wasn't meant to be racist, and if you took my post seriously well... there's really no point in me typing this as I doubt you have the mental capacity to read.

    Most people only speak one or two languages, so saying that she was speaking a language you couldn't understand is correct, because I'm sure there are many languages that you can't understand, so he is covering a broader spectrum. Since you already know she is from Afghanistan, you point of saying she could be that girl from... is pointless.
