An Austrian parliamentarian has offended colleagues on the left:

He said: “The refugees which are coming to Austria have a worldview like Neanderthals, which thank God in most places is now extinct.”

But the statement instantly attracted an aggressive reaction from members of the country’s Green party and the NEOS (The New Austria and Liberal Forum), a liberal opposition party. The Green party said that statement was not only unacceptable, but it was also racist and inhumane.

Jeez, Neanderthals always get a bum rap.
