Spain Puts Wrong Slant on Olympics
WTF?
So much for One World, One Dream or whatever. The picture above shows members of the Spanish Olympic basketball team making what The Guardian calls a “slit-eye” gesture. I thought it was slant-eye, but po-tay-toh, po-tah-toh, it’s still freaking racist.
This picture apparently appeared in a full page ad in a Spanish newspaper and no one batted a racist, faux-slanted eye. Nice job, Spain. This is sure to help your chances in landing the Games in 2016.
Oh, and memo to members of the Spanish Olympic team in China right now: Let’s just say I wouldn’t drink any more Coke until I was back home if I were you.
