Now this is racism

My wife is currently posted at the University Hospital in Antwerp, where 45% of the population voted in the Vlaams Belang (the Flemish BNP). She encounters racism all the time (even xenophobia toward her as she is Dutch), but last week even she was stunned when, as she handed a baby she had just "extracted" by caesarean section from a Moroccan woman to the Head Nurse, the nurse replied "I'm not holding that monkey".

Worst thing is, she feels she can't report it either because half her superiors feel the same way.
