Spanish Tennis Team Also Strikes "Chinky-Eyed Chinaman" Pose!

You would have thought, perhaps, that the embarrassing ad photo of the Spanish Olympic basketball team in the eyelids-pulled-back, "Slanty-eyed Chinese" pose was just a one-off thing. I mean, if they had done this before, they would have had a better apology ready, right? But maybe Asia-mocking is actually a favorite pastime of all Spanish athletes—because their 2008 Federation Cup Tennis team, which beat China to move into the finals, was photographed in the same god damn pose!:

Hey Spain, stop that.

Yeah but that photo was taken after Spain beat China at the Federation Cup this year, not at the Olympics. And the photo is on their Tennis Federation website. Even if it wasn't an insult, it was certainly rude.

yeah..u know the worst? they dont even think that's insulting...

Spain wanna be seen as a multicultural country..and yeah, it has many cultures living together..but respect is not a must for them
I talk in 3rd person because, as it usually happens, there's exceptions to that..

But yeah, this is simpl WRONG...and it¡s not even in the spanish news... -_-U
