The Spanish Olympic Basketball team recently posed for a photo in an advertisement that appeared in a popular newspaper in Spain. In the photo, the team poses while making "slit-eyed" gestures (you know, pulling the skin around your eyes back to make us Round Eyes look more Asian). Nobody involved with the ad seemed to consider that some might find it offensive. And Madrid is trying to win a bid to host the Olympics in 2016 or 2020. Good move.

I love how even the spanish media is saying that this is not racist and how this is done to honor their chinese hosts. Awesome!
