I'm in suspense - when will the next team picture of the "Spanish slant eyes" emerge. Michelle, It would be certainly understandable if you overlooked it - because I sure don't have enough time to look over all the comments on your blog - but could you update the post giving npphotg some much deserved credit of calling attention to the Tennis team picture back when you posted about the basketball picture. npphotg - don't know if that will work - but hope you don't mind me trying. I believe to give credit where credit is due - but I think it's perfectly understandable if Michelle overlooked it. Rating 1*.

Spanish Players Respond

Players on Spain’s Olympic men’s basketball team defended a photo in an advertisement showing the players using their fingers to apparently make their eyes look more Chinese.

The photo, which has been running as a newspaper spread in Spain since Friday, shows all 15 players making the gesture on a basketball court adorned with a Chinese dragon. The photo was part of a publicity campaign for team sponsor Seur, a Spanish courier company, and is being used only in Spain.

“It was something like supposed to be funny or something but never offensive in any way,” said Spain center Pau Gasol, who also plays for the Los Angeles Lakers. “I’m sorry if anybody thought or took it the wrong way and thought that it was offensive.”

Point guard José Calderón said the team was responding to a request from the photographer.

“We felt it was something appropriate, and that it would be interpreted as an affectionate gesture,” Calderón, who plays for NBA’s Toronto Raptors, wrote on his ElMundo.es blog. “Without a doubt, some . . . press didn’t see it that way.”

International news media criticized the photo. London’s Daily Telegraph said Spain’s “poor reputation for insensitivity toward racial issues has been further harmed” by the photo.

You see, since they are European, they are NOT racist, and therefore nothing they do undergoes even the basic reviews our elementary schoolchildren undergo for statements and actions. In a way, it is refreshing, until they start maligning the popular, media embraced, vision that we Americans are racist. Look at the riots in France. The youth in France have few chances at a job, and the immigrants have no chance. The locals do not hire immigrants, and the socialistic rules do not allow hiring part time help. The bottom line is while the leftist press in Europe enjoys bashing us, their record is far worse than ours since the civil war.

The Spanish are just showing how narrow & myopic the Chinese are when it comes to following the rules, or maybe not. I am going to defend the Spanish, everyone is taking this gesture out of context.
