- Programledarna säger bland annat att Teodorescu borde vara mindre "husblatte". Plötsligt har P3 passerat gränsen från vass och hård politisk satir till ren och skär rasistisk idioti.
Föreställningen om husblattar är rasistisk – tro inget annat. Den grundar sig i att människor med en specifik hudfärg eller invandrarbakgrund ska tycka på ett visst sätt.- The hosts say, among other things, that Teodorescu ought to be less of a "husblatte." Suddenly, P3 [a radio station] has crossed the line from sharp and tough satire to sheer racist idiocy.
The notion of husblattar [plural] is racist – don't believe anything else. It is based on the idea that people with a specific skin color or an immigrant background should think a certain way.
