Italian racist politician calls black woman ‘orangutan’

In Greece, the Golden Dawn nazi fuehrer called a basketball player of African ancestry a ‘chimpanzee’.

Now, in Italy, Roberto Calderoli has called a black woman an ‘orangutan’.

Roberto Calderoli is a politician of the extreme Right Lega Nord (Northern League) party. He used to be a minister in the recent Berlusconi government.

Now, he has insulted Ms Cécile Kyenge, born in Congo, a Democratic Party minister in the present government.
