Following a news story about the Geneva Conventions scandal in the United States:

Midheta (centre, Muslim): "It's amazing how much Condoleeza Rice can speak without actually providing any information about the subject."

Tomislav (left, Catholic): "Hahaha... she should stick to playing the piano, did you see that video?"

Midheta: "Hahaha... I did! She seemed so out of place, don't you think?"

Tomislav: "For a member of the Bush Administration? Surely, yes."

Midheta: "She seems out of place there as well. It's as though some casting director made a bad call, and gave her a lead role in the Bush Administration when she should have been cast in Planet of the Apes."

Offensive indeed.

However I am not to sure if this is racist or not, due to the fact I have no idea of previous comments on Africans or Rice's looks.
