Different Spanish Team -- Same Racism

106. Que desgraciado. The Spanish have a long history of being racially insensitive, so this comes as no surprise. A few years back, Spanish football fans threw bananas at an African team when they were losing. You would think a country that was conquered by north Africans and ruled for over 800 years would have some semblance of sympathy for such sensitive issues. But then, maybe that's exactly why they have no sympathy or love for anyone different than themselves, including other Hispanics. Sorry bunch of sin verguenzas! lol

Quizas USTED debe que abrir los ojos al mundo que vive y darse cuenta que ud. esta viviendo en un pais que es uno del mas racialmente divisivo y insensible en el mundo.

108. ooooh boy.

Funny how most of the people (or all) that say that picture is racist then refer to all Spaniards as hairy, BO smelling, Mexicans, ugly etc.

Nobody explains why the picture is racist. Any of you saying it is racist even knows why you think it is racist? And I mean from your own thinking, not from being told that it is racist and just accepting it.

Those of you, would you think a picture for the olympics in Norway showing them all wearing blonde wigs and blue contacts would be racist? Don't kid yourself, you would not, that would be a complement. Like the old Golden Hair Califormia boy idea? Only people that think those eyes or the chinese people are inferior would consider that racist.

Incidentally, I am from Spain and live in the US and let me tell you, I know of those jokes Americans like so much about the "flied lice". Sure, you would not put that on an official ad, but only because you are too scared of failing the political correctness test.

And by the way, quit wasting your time trying to offend Spain with your nonsense, no ofende quien quiere, sino quien puede.

But thanks for your nonsense anyway because you have made me proud of Spain and I haven't been in a while.

112. Danielle Moss:

"ud. esta viviendo en un pais que es uno del mas racialmente divisivo y insensible en el mundo."

Care to elaborate or it's just another bunch of empty words?

Yeah, the US is not racially divided at all, and I think we could all see that when Katrina hit. Other countries may have guettos, but not the US, not here.

114. Yep, good old spanish racism. As somebody who has lived in Spain for more than 10yrs I can tell you it is probably the most racist country in Europe, just look at the way they treated Lewis Hamilton in Barcelona, then yesterday in the GP in Valencia he was booed when collecting his trophy for 2nd place. Ridiculous. Also the countless football matches where a foreign team has come to play and the old gorilla sounds rear their ugly heads once more, Emile Heskey playing for England would remember this I am sure. The thing is, its not a minority in Spain, it is a vast majority of the population who think like this. Just watch a black person walk down the street in an un-touristy town, he would get more looks than a naked playboy bunny. Its ridiculous and something needs to be done to make these bigots realise that we are in the 21st century.
