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.
here’s the full article:

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/

Two of the players on the Spanish team are from the NBA (Pau Gasol and Jose Calderon).  Will be interesting to see if the NBA takes action against them…

I really doubt it. What does the NBA care?

KUDOS to you for reporting on this, Andrew. If even one ball player had had the balls to say “This is wrong....I’m not participating,” this would not have happened. I have heard from people who’ve lived in Europe that folks over there can be very politically incorrect.

You are right Elena. I spoke to a couple of Spanish friends of mine who have lived in the States for a while and they both said that in Spain people are not PC at all. In fact they would find this funny and cute. Go figure!

Are you going to report on the new photos?

This photo is an outrage. I saw the Spainards sorry apology in my local newspaper. They said that they are sorry “which was a sort of sorry” for the photo, but they didn’t think that they did anything wrong. They consider the photo as an affectionate gesture to the Chinese. “Look guys! We are making our eyes like yours, so now we look like you!” LMAO GET OUTTA HERE WITH THAT RACIST BULLCRAP!!
