I think that this article:

a) promotes discussion
b) makes racists look dumb

So it should stay. I'd be keen to leave stuff like this on the wire unless:

a) it attacks someone personally (like the poster of an article)
b) turns into spam - ie like all the racist israel/palestine articles that used to clog the global wire.

Like the last racist article that you hid - yup it was racist, but I think that it would be better to highlight this racism with a comment, rather than hiding it.

If our wire gets taken over by several australian nazies, then it will be a different story.
