Racist Ad

Already with one of the most disturbing histories as a nation, Spain's basketball team adds to it with this sad ad in a Spanish magazine, which depicts the Spanish Olympic basktetball team pulling back their eyes to mimic the Asian epicanthic fold.

Several of those players also play in the NBA. Sigh...

my goodness - enough with politically correctness !

it's probably their happy way of saying - "we're going to china."

what a lousey world, when we can't make fun of others and in turn can't stand being made fun of. loosen up and laugh, already - it's funny.

Sissyfied? Wow! It blows my mind when people are ignorant to the history of degradation of Asians and are completely unaware of the "slanted" eye gesture being truly racist. And, if this were really a "happy way of saying- we're going to China," it's pathetic for you to come up with an excuse like that. Some sense of humor...at the expense of a race/ethnic group.
