Spanish Tennis Team Try And Top Racist Spanish Basketball Team Ad
Oh, Spain. How are you going to get away with this one? After photographs were revealed last week of the Spanish basketball team making derogatory gestures towards their Olympic hosts, a photo of the Spanish Tennis Team has surfaced with the competitors striking a very similar pose. How similar? Well, it’s the exact same pose. Sure, Spain are trying to convince everyone the gesture was directed as a sign of good faith, just the way, we assume, Spanish F1 racing fans dressed in black face and afro wigs to let Lewis Hamilton know they’re really big fans? Check out the picture after the jump. For reference, the guy on the far left (on this page) is the guy in the top row, far right in the pic after the jump.
Stay classy, Spain. And good luck on that Olympic bid.

I get it. It’s a national pastime, this racist approach to sports. It’s just like eating hot dogs at a baseball game, right? Ok Ok.

Shows how backwards Spain really is. They are kinda isolated, sandwich between Portugal, France, and Africa will make anyone insensitive

Ok, they are going to China so they make their eyes look like Chinese …
.. Is it racist ? Is it an handicap to have eyes with no eyelids ?
I’m Canadian and wouldn’t mind if African would paint their faces white, or if Chinese would take a picture with a Eskimo jacket, or if they would scotch some hair on their torso …
Some people see racism every where … thats just a picture saying “hey, we’re (going to) China.
Cool off … and dont post racists comments against racism !

of course this is racist
alot of asians don’t have eyes slanted like that, the eyes obviously do look different but not like some down syndrome kids!

those look more like japanese eye slants. so, yes, they’ve totaly got their asian destination wrong. therefore, showing just how ignorant a society the spanish really are. check out their issues with football and “colored” people. it’s inherent and hopefully something like this helps educate a future generation of spain to learn from their elders mistakes. increase the peace.

Racist Spaniards. If they don’t think that is racist then they must be mentally impaired. Idiot Pau Gasol.

Hey David!..if it’s not racist..why don’t you walk into an Asian resturant,bar, pool hall, or better yet a martial arts studio and pull that gesture off?..
Fight racism with violence!..punch the next person who does this move..if you’re not tough enough to fight..just stab or shoot them.

Like, um, who cares? The Spanish have a negative birth rate. They are so busy smoking and partying that they forgot how to breed… The Spanish woman I work with is insufferable , always talking about how great Spain is, how great the people are there, blah, blah blah… In twenty years, the last Spaniard on earth can make whatever racist faces they want, but the Chinese will probably own 90% of Barcelona by then…
Posted by K Dub | August 20, 2008
They are doing this to poke fun at the Chinese or any Åsian group of people. This can’t possibly be considered a gesture of warm welcoming.
Posted by JJ | August 20, 2008
I’m Chinese and looking at these pictures of these athletes making “slanted eyes” gestures brought back painful memories of when I was in elementary school and the other
students at school would make fun of me and other Asian students by making their eyes slanted and laugh at us while they are doing it. God created us the way we are, we have no control over that.
How childish of the Spaniard to do this. Someone should tell them
to grow up. They are not in elementary school anymore.

Spaniard bastards and pau asshole are in denial because they truly are inherently racist. Just look at how they treat black athletes in spanish football..spaniards are retards and the funny thing is all their denial on that they’re not racist. they’re so racist but yet they have brown/olive skin haha..they’re not even white so they are gonna suck on white dick because they look up so highly towards them ? haha..pau is fucken ugly

Pinche’s Gauchupines Racistas
Im glad Kobe Bryant handed your ass to you guys during the Olympics.

CABRONES PUTOS!

This is good that the spanish did this! Freakin asians want to be everywhere and expect that every country will accept them when they forcefully migrated to a new country which is not there own! That is what you call a rat! Chinese are eating up all this earths resourses and breeding like rats!!!
