Nice article, I feel sometimes somethings are taken overboard

A debate about the barker and its being a religious garb began in Australia when a Senator, Pauline Hanson, wore one into the Senate. The Leader accused her of denigrating a religious garment and others called her racist. Many are now confused over what racism is and how that applies to an objection to full face covering. The general consensus of opinion is that one cannot identify the wearer and that is what the Senator was pointing out.

I would rather consider the above as a foolish act by an individual than consider her as been racist, I feel saying she's racist is just genuinely ignoring the reasoning behind this kind of behavior.
