Again that was NOT racist, it was meant to mean that we are also chinese, a friendship gesture.
Only an american mind in a country where there are still lynchings and people being judged by suggesting something like that, could not understand a gesture like.

I am Spanish I want to say 3 things:
1) They don’t do this in a racist way. The thought that they was doing something “affectionate” (Was the idea of the photographer). I see this that, we feel China like our home, we are like chineesse people.
2) I don’t think that this is racism. If anyone […]
This is a joke and not racism and even chinese people said they arent offended for this thing, why dont you see that England has been much more racist to chinese people than us?, destroying the Yuanmingyuan(Antique Imperial Palace), or stealing many chinese object or even conquering HK in order to sell opium to China. […]
That is where you are missing the point. It is not a mild racial joke and they only reason the media is not making a bigger deal over it is because it is Spain and no one really cares about them. George Carlin made fun of everyone and not one specific race and […]
First of all, I’m Asian born and raised in South America, I’m not white as you keep assuming.
Second of all, you have the face to tell me, or anyone to go learn anything about racism??? I’ve had trash thrown at me and my family, and told to go back to our country. I’ve seen people […]
@alex7575 oh, you have a black friend, well good for you. Funny, I knew you’d say that. People always want to prove they dont ever have a racial thought because they have a black friend. Well guess what, I have a black friend too. So I guess I’m not a racist […]
@alex7575, What exactly is a racist? Is it just someone who thinks there are differences in race? Well there are, and there is plenty of science and statistics to demonstrate this. So I’m an idiot for believing in science and math?
I see you’re from CA. Well, down here in NC we […]
I can’t believe all the ignorance and hypocrisy in this thread. Apparently in the US (and the UK, but that’s just because their press is rubbish and sensationalist) racism is not about hatred or discrimination because of the race. If you don’t want to be a racist in the eyes of those countries, you gotta […]
“a Wednesday article in El Pais, a Spanish newspaper, that quoted a Chinese Embassy spokesman in Spain as saying “we don’t interpret this gesture as offensive” or racist.”

>What I mean is that I don’t know why everyone is talking about this thread when it is not relevant.
>It is NOT racist and it was not meant to be racist.
To be more precise, both Pau Gasol and the Spanish Basketball coach apologized already and explained that they meant it as a gesture of complicity […]
