Pond Scum: Professional whiner Mary Robinson has her knickers in a twist. (That's not new of course, since she mostly always has her knickers in a twist.)

The top United Nations human rights official today called on European countries, meeting in Spain to discuss illegal immigration issues, to guarantee that asylum seekers and other migrants were portrayed fairly and without stereotypes.

In a message to the meeting of the European Council in Seville, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Mary Robinson, said countries should ensure that accurate information regarding migrants and migration issues was made available, including on the positive contribution that migrants make to the host society.

Mrs. Robinson also said that at last year’s World Conference against Racism, countries agreed that stereotyping in all its forms, in particular the promotion of false images of migrants by States and the media should be avoided, spokesman Jose Luis Diaz told a press briefing in Geneva.

Don't worry about the USA, Mary! Here you can't even get the media to call an illegal alien an illegal alien. If we're lucky, we may find out in a footnote that one of our foreign guests is "undocumented".
