Is a grandmother suppose to be an insult?

You obviously don't understand how the media brainwashing works.

Was she made the WTO DG because she's 66 years old or a grandmother?

Of what use are these "qualifying tags" to the message they are trying to pass?

Jaqenhghar:

I wonder. When did calling grandmithers what they are become an insult

Mightyhaiz:
Whats wrong with a 66 year old Nigerian grandmother if she can more than deliver..?

..or is it because she is African? Most world leaders are grand parents..

“This Grandmother will become the new boss of WTO,” the headline of a report by Luzerner Zeitung read, announcing Okonjo-Iweala’s selection as the director-general.

WibusJaga:

It is actually not good when used as a headline...

Freestainworld:
What ever they like, let them call her, as far as she's occupying the position which is the most important thing, the whites are just in a state of shock that an African, a woman for that matter will be occupying the highly coveted position.

Yet she can never be president of Nigeria cos of hatred for igbos
But a certain nepa bill holder is loved by all including the ewedu eaters cos of hatred for igbos

A lot of you asking what's wrong with calling her 66 year Nigerian grandmother are obviously not okay in the head and just plain stupid. It's not even a subtle jab at all.
So if you have qualifications a mile long from some of the best and elite institutions in the world, with numerous global accolades, you would prefer to be addressed and reduced to just your age, gender and nationality.
Do you know how bloody hard you have to work to get where she is with these qualifications, only for it to be diminished by pedestrian headlines and calling her a 66 year old Nigerian grandmother
Racist bastards.

'66 year old grandmother becomes head of WTO'

Am I the only one who doesn't exactly find anything offensive about the statement? People are just too insecure and sensitive.

It’s okay to be ignorant but it’s your responsibility to educate yourself. Read the comments, see opposing views and understand their reason being on the opposing side! Don’t just be happy being stupid lol
