Not To Be Outdone, The Spanish Olympic Tennis Team Proves They, Too, Are Good At Racism
Proving Spain’s Olympic basketball team isn’t the only Spanish team to have a sense of humor akin to a four-year-old or your racist uncle who still refers to people as “colored,” the country’s Olympic tennis team posed for their own picture mimicking “slanty eyes.” And, to think, with merely the addition of a couple dozen red Dixie cups, this could have made a fairly typical Facebook photo.
We can scarcely wait for the Chinese gymnastics team photo of everyone pretending they’re a nation of little to no political relevance.

That one guy in the back clearly didn’t get the memo.

I like the old guy in the front row - over on the right. He likes to serve his racism with a side of peace pilaf.

f the Olympics were held in Africa and the Spaniards painted their whole body BLACK would they still defend it?

It’s not the same Jason, that comparison only would apply if the Spaniards painted their skin YELLOW. The best comparison would be if the Spanish team went to Africa and wore afro wigs… I should point out though, the Chinese in China don’t seem to have a problem, it is only the ethnic Asians overseas that do. Maybe there is something there….

I agree with Ben
it seems that english speaking people and countries are the only ones that find the whole thing so problematic,
maybe it is because racism has played a different role in every country, and in some places people have better things to think of

Well, when in Rome…

Maybe next time the spanish team goes to China, the Chinese people should wear tight dirty spandex pants. Or waste food like the spanish by throwing rotten tomatoes at each other on the streets. Or act like schizos who would run in front of a raging bull, only to lose their life.
