This picture has been making the rounds on the internet this week. It features Spain’s Olympic basketball team posing for an advertisement prior to the games. Instead of grabbing their crotch like every manly athlete loves to do in pictures, they actually posed with slanted eyes imitating the Chinese. The print ad was for a Spanish courier company and first appeared in the Spanish-language newspaper, La Marca.

Racist mother…

WOW......and they say Americans are racist and insensitive…

How is this not racist? They should be banned.

They weren’t even really apologetic.

Even the shocker picture posted on another blog is better than doing something as moronic as this. The Chinese team should send a picture of all of them holding bottles of tequila.

Well it’s not like China can do anything about it now.

Well they could and are. Winning medals and watching Spain not winning is pretty good.

It’s okay. China whooped their ass in winning medals.

LOL word.

I actually just read that it was the advertisement company who insisted they pose that way, and that many of them didn’t feel comfortable doing it. Although that doesn’t excuse their behavior, it does shed some light onto the situation. Also I think their semi-apology is bs.

What would posses the ad company to think that was funny is beyond me.

should be interesting to see China vs Spain in basketball…

thats messed up
seriously..

Instead of tequila they could have pretended to hop the border. haha

The company was probably racist against China or has a sick sense of humor.

They could have said no.

Here’s a related blog post that goes a little deeper into the history of Asian racism: http://www.complex.com/blogs/2008/08/13/the-best-of-the-worst-anti-asian-racism/
