Flashermac Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 Wife arrested after calling her husband "lazy" In Belgium, Walloon husband accuses Flemish wife of racism Oct. 27, 2005 BRUSSELS - Belgium's history of linguistic bickering between Flemings and Walloons entered a new phase this week when police arrested a Flemish woman for calling her Walloon husband lazy, Belgian media said on Thursday. The 48-year-old husband filed a complaint for racism against his spouse for scratching him and calling him "a lazy Walloon, a slave and an inferior creature", De Standaard daily said. The 47-year-old woman will appear before a magistrate later on Thursday to face charges of racism, the newspaper said. Dutch-speaking Flemings and French-speaking Walloons are not only linguistically divided but also split socio-economically between a prosperous Flanders and a poorer Wallonia.
