Different Spanish Team -- Same Racism

61. 58. THE PEOPLE OF SPAIN ARE ALL UGLY COMPARED TO THE PUERTO RICANS AND BRAZILIANS.

HELL THE DOMINICANS ARE WAYYYYYYYYY HOTTER THAN THE SPANIARDS.....EVEN THE PERVIANS.....

SPAIN HAS THE WORLDS MOST UGLY LATIN PEOPLE oh sorry thats right the people of spain HATE to be called LATIN....

______________________


Spain is not ugly. They are the true mother country where all Spanish descent come from. Ugly is Guatemalans are squat and short, prematurely wrinkly and have an evil teehee laugh. Leave Spain alone. If the black people are unahppy there noone told them to run over there from North Africa. Spain is not the USA who is putting up with all these illegal immigrants getting freebees while Americans have no healthcare and live paycheck to paycheck.

62. I can't believe something so innocent gets so much play. Racist? Hardly. Won't be happy until everyone is a mixed race with cookie cutter attitudes will you? Lets celebrate diversity by all acting and looking the same!!! YaY us!!!!

Idiots.

64. This is very offensive but I would be hesitant to judge the whole county of Spain against what these people are doing. Bad taste and racism seems to find home in all countries...still. Unfortunate, but true.

66. Esto es ridiculo!!!!! If you don't know a country you shouldn't talk about it. You see a video on Youtube about some stupids saying racists things and you assumed that is the whole of Spain? For your information, soccer's stars like Eto'o or Kanoute are so loved here. But like always you Americans think that your "world" is the best and the only possible. Good luck out there! Menos tonterias y más cultura y deporte.

71. To Illuminati who wrote "I can't believe something so innocent gets so much play." Welcome to America brotha, welcome to America. Home of the "free"....so long as that freedom does not offend anybody.

I have a theory regarding this picture: The picture was taken so that it could be used as an advertisement. An advertisement was intended to be used in Spain. What was the purpose of that advertisement? I think it was to remind Spaniards of the Olympics and to get them to take interest and watch. What the single picture was meant to convey was this message “Spanish basketball team in Beijing China for Olympics”. What better why to do that then to show a picture of the team and with a single gesture conjuring “Chinese” to the mind of the viewer? If you were playing charades with a group of friends and you drew “Chinese Fortune Cookie” how would you pantomime it?

I don’t think it is maliciously intended. I think it was simply a clever, albeit insensitive, way to boost viewership for the games.

75. hmm...I'm Chinese and my eyes don't slant at all. In fact, they are really round. I don't even look like the average Chinese person, and I'm not mixed.. I heard about those Spanish monkey chant stuff from yahoo answers. Seeing these pictures and reading the comments... reminds of the Spanish guy in Barcelona from America's Next Top Model who told the black competitor that he does not like kissing black women. Never thought that people making slanted eyes could be so offensive until these pictures came along. I saw the slant eye thing brieftly in Elementary and High school and never saw it again. Never was upset about it and no one try to make me upset about it. If the Spanish wanna do that, let them have it. Maybe they are really ignorant.. Always left it at that for racist people,.. Some people automatically act like I don't know English.
