I am more offended about people in this thread who tell other people who do not share their sense of humour are weak-minded babies.
this is ridiculous. bigotry begets bigotry. what was supposed to be an innocent jab turned into a insensitive joke which in turn became a racist remark. go figure.

They are mexicans, not spanish. They have class like chicken has teeth.
i thought black people have something else
Don't even respond to this idiot. There is probably pcp on that joint.
I didn't make a fuss about this PARTICULAR event whatsoever, as a Chinese. What's interesting is that at the first glance of the pic I had no idea what they are doing. I showed it around to my collegues (the pic was not showing up on major Chinese website) and the reactions were the same like "What is it?".
I think it might be the cultral differences. This is the first time I got to know that Asians are characterized as having slanted eyes by some other races. The point is that most Chinese ppl might not regard it as something offensive because we dont know what's their intention at all. Of course if some foreigners tell me that this is sort of provokative or the "slanted eyes" gesture was invented to humiliate Chinese, it's another story.
I am glad that the pic isn't being circulated that much in China. Anyways things gotta be stired up otherwise I believe.
It does look like a bad joke, but i can understand when people take offense of this..I'm European and if there's any country where people repeatedly discriminate, it's Spain. Thats why its such a controversy right now. Not becuz its a bad joke, bud becuz it happens to be Spain once again, being involved.
you can make jokes all you want. but dont do it in a team picture about the host of the games you are going to.
As a half chinese half mexican half native american half black half irish american male I am offended! Utterly outraged! Or as my dear old mum would say “Yo soy ching ching chung mad for many moons you jive talkin’ air biscuits!
