Second Spanish team photographed making 'slit-eyed' gesture

[cowboyronnie]

they're not even doing it properly. you've got to really pull hard and buck your teeth.

this is highly advanced, and I can't expect just anyone to be able to accomplish it. but it is the benchmark, IMO:

People get offended way too easily.

We have hit this topic to death... but people.. please move on... in Spanish context, it is not racist. If you insist that it is racist, please do me a favor a learn two more languages before coming here and making a fool out of yourselves.

World needs to realize racism still exists and be cautious about the gestures and what they say about other races.

Doesn't matter if it's a joke or not.

Just say ur are the majority of ur nation and have not felt racism in a way that effects ur lifestyle.

Sorry guys, no offense, but I think that only in a racist country, these photos can be interpreted as racism! Evidently the Americans have problems with Asians.
Maybe in USA there is a problem of "bad conscience", of fake "politically correct". Or maybe the Europeans are stupid and insensitive, but not racists with asians people.

1. The whole issue has been beaten to death in the other thread.

2. I don't think a sports forum is a good place to debate on such a sensitive issue.

3. We do not want posters from different nationalities question each others tolerance levels on racism and related issues.

So to the best of my judgment I'd like to lock this thread and avoid any further discussion on this issue here. Enjoy the Olympics and appreciate the sports guys, its the sport that this is all about.
