Klaus Emmerich (born 1928) is the former editor-in-chief of ORF News in Austria.[1] He achieved notoriety in the United States for his racist remarks following Barack Obama's win of the 2008 US presidential election.[2] David F. Girard-diCarlo, U.S. ambassador to Austria, officially protested against Emmerich’s remarks on November 14, 2008.[3][4]

Quotes

"I don't want to be steered by a black man in the Western world. If you say that that is a racist remark: right, without doubt."[1]

"[I]t is a most unsettling development as the blacks are not as advanced in their political & social development."[1]
