Different Spanish Team -- Same Racism
Posted Aug 15th 2008 12:00PM by TMZ Staff
Not to be outdone by the Spanish national Olympic basketball team, the Spanish women's tennis team pulled the same offensive pose that's apparently sweeping their nation. Ay dios mio!
This racy pic was taken during preparation for their Federation Cup match against China back in April.
The photo still remains on the team's website with the attached caption: "Estamos preparados para China", which translates to, "We are prepared for China." Yeah, preparing for the backlash!

2. Spain is a Stone Age country
Posted at 12:21PM on Aug 15th 2008 by Wake up, it's the 21st century...
3. All I can say is they are JUST as stupid as the Spanish Basketball Team to think that these gestures are not offensive. Let them come to MY hood and do that and see if they dont get an ASIAN beatdown.... then they won't have to do that cause there eyes will be SWOLEN shut!!!!!!! hehehehehehe......

4. I have to agree that Spain is a country stuck in a different era. Mant Spanish are racist and have no problem admitting it especially when it comes to sports especially when it comes to players that are better than their own, which happens to be a lot.

5. As an american, I'm truly offended. Why would they do such a thing? It makes me have a dislike for spain, it's just wrong. Regardless of what you think of China, Spain is attacking them on nothing but a racist level. I think we should stand by China on this and never support racist comments or gestures.

8. That's quite stupid of them, if they were indeed trying to make fun of the Chinese in that photo. Regardless of what people think of Chinese politics or issues like human rights, Tibet, etc., China does have a very rich mix of traditional and historical cultural qualities that are greatly admired. You have to get past the surface of the daily news to find that though, but the search pays off richly. When thinking of the world's great cultures, I wouldn't think Spain would be in the top 20 but China certainly would be in the top 10 once you subtract the human rights abuses and oh yah, dog meat.

9. this is getting so ridiculous
maybe the asians should send those spanish people a picture of them all greasy, hairy, and smelling like b.o.
or maybe just call all of them mexicans. they seem to hate that

10. Maybe they don't see this as racist. Just because that is how it is interpreted here doesn't mean it is interpreted everywhere on the planet the same way.

11. Why don't people think. This is a childish thing for Spain's team to do. Your in chin's country and then you do something so stupid!!!! How would Spain's teams like it if the tables were reversed. I can think of some names that Spain's teams would not like to be called. Would they take it as just "foolin around". I don't think so. These are supose to be the best athlets from their country. Boy, what a way to represent your country, in front of billions. Grow up and act like adults. As the saying goes: "There's just no fixing stupid".

16. Monkey chants towards black players are common during Spainish scccer matches. They don't think they are racist either. Spain has huge problems, the biggest one apparently is even realising that these kind of things are racist.
Spain V England Soccer friendly. Monkey chants from the crowd everytime a black English player touches the ball:

21. To Michelle. What a typical American response: Getting offended on behalf of the world. So let me understand this Michelle, you now dislike the entire Country because of pictures taken by the Men’s basketball team and Women’s tennis team? Wow!
This is much to do about nothing. Those that are most offended by this picture are Americans. The Country that decided freedom of speech was so important that we made it the ”First” amendment to the constitution is the same Country most likely to decry foul at speech that could possibly offend somebody. What?
Had the Chinese basketball team taken a picture with their fingers holding open their eyes nobody would care! We would merely chalk it up as a mockery and retort “We’ll see! We’ll see who takes the gold”. Why? Because we are not that sensitive, or easily offended, and can roll-with-the-punches. We just think the rest of the world cannot. Why do we treat the rest of the world like they are special-needs children in need of our protection? Like we are the world’s superheroes there to defend the helpless and powerless? That no one other than Americans are capable of shaking off a mockery? From what I have read about this incident only England and the U.S. seem to be up in arms.
You wonder why the rest of world looks down upon us? It’s not because of George Bush, it’s because we look down upon the rest of the world!

23. As someone who is Japanese, I am a bit offended, but seriously... they are the ones looking like racist, retarded fools, not asians. They're the ones making their team look stupid, and NO ONE, not even China, will take them seriously. So while I am offended, I really don't care because I'm not the one making an ass of myself in front of the world.

24. I already dislike France for the obvious reasons, but now Spain is gettin' stupid too? What the heck?
I bet if an American team did this there would be WORLD WIDE CONDEMNATION> and yes I believe Spain would complain too. Well, at least they can't find a way to blame the US for this one, although I bet some posters will try.

30. i know racism still exists but taking pictures with this kind of pose is like shouting out that you're racist to the world. its retarded when they say that its a friendly pose for the chinese olympics. i don't know what the China government and people think of this but as a Chinese American I am extremely offended.

31. YOU SEE THIS ISNT A JOKE......IF YOU KNOW THE SPAINISH PEOPLE.....
WHEN SPAIN PLAYS ISRAEL THEY HAVE BANNER THAT SAY "OPEN THE OVEN"
WHEN SPAIN PLAYS ENGLAND - EVERYTIME A BLACK PLAYER TOUCHES THE BALL THEY START A MONKEY CHANT.....
THATS NOT A JOKE....THATS RACISM AND IGNORANCE.....THATS WHAT THE COUNTRY OF SPAIN ARE MADE OF RACIST IDIOTS.....SO I HOPE THE ENTIRE COUNTRY DIES A MISERABLE DEATH

Posted at 1:48PM on Aug 15th 2008 by el matadorrrrrrrrr
34.
OMG!. This is absokutely unbelievable.
Let´s get some things straight:
- Spain is a modern country where evryone has the right to free college education, free medical assistance and where, as opossed to the US, there is virtually no poor people. Furhermore, it´s a contry with more than two thousand years of rich history (do Cervantes, Velazquez, Goya, Picaso, Lorca and a large etc ring a bell?).
- Spain is a power in sports big time: we are the current World Champions in Basketball; European Champions is Soccer (by far, the most popular sport in the world); Nadal is the best tennis player in the world; Alonso is a 2 time F1 world champion; Sastre just won the Tour de France, etc. I have to admit that we are not a power in the olympics though.
There is no doubt that the add was unfortunate. But to call it racist it´s just absurd. You have to understand that in Spain we don't have as many racial issues as you guys do in the US. Believe when I tell you that it was just meant as a nice gesture towards the Chinese people. As I see it, it was rather unfortunate cause it didn´t took into account the foreseeable reaction abroad, but there is no racial side to it whatsoever.

35. I don't like people who do thing's like this! I'm asian and take much offense to both of these pictures! Even if they are just trying to joke around and arent trying to be racist...It still isnt a nice thing to do. I hope people will learn that it's not funny or cool to make racial joke's, It is just immature and stupid!
Posted at 2:17PM on Aug 15th 2008 by Terumi
36. It is unbelievable that despite being schooled about the offensiveness of these photos, the Spanish teams continue to display them instead of apologizing or expressing embarrassment. At the very least, they could admit that they do look stupid in these photos.
Posted at 2:23PM on Aug 15th 2008 by wasted days and wasted nights
37. To Fernando, what you didn't take into account was the reaction of Americans and our belief that the World is comprised of super-sensitive people. We are a Nation that has run amok the idea of political correctness and want to impose our PC policies onto the rest of the world. I guess we figure that if we have to be extremely cautious as to what we say and do, it’s only fair that everybody else should too. Welcome to the mind of an American.
To those proclaiming America the most racist country off all, it’s not true, we simply strain to see everything as “racist” and brand it with that label. This “controversy” is emblematic of that.
Posted at 2:25PM on Aug 15th 2008 by Michael
38. Okay, so again its morally offensive and wrong for these young kids to make fun of Asian eyes buts its okay for tmz to make fun of people with crossed eyes two stories up???? Explain, please.
Posted at 2:30PM on Aug 15th 2008 by Insert comical name here
39. I don't know. I'm Asian and I feel like maybe they just don't know any better. It seems like they're doing it not out of hate or spite but because they just had no idea that it's racist. Maybe instead of being so angry at Spanish team members, we should inform them that it's innappropriate and that they shouldn't do that again.
I guess my point is, stupid things that are done innocently are only as hurtful as you allow them to be.
Posted at 2:34PM on Aug 15th 2008 by Anonymous
40. If an American team would have done that, we would have been banned from the Olympics.......and kicked out of China....etc You think the Spanish team would have known that the Chinese would not like that....they did know that...it wasn't a joke. In China, respect is important. They look like a bunch of drunk goofs.
Posted at 2:51PM on Aug 15th 2008 by Replay
41. Allright. Get used to the fact that every country is America and that being too PC can suck. I'm sick of the Chinese who torture dogs or cats before eating them. Eat dogs and cats if you want, but there is no excuse for treating them inhumanely Why would someone want to eat an animal who licks it's buthole? Oh well, not to mention they torrture bears for their bile. What to get really offended? Watch out they treat animals and Tibetans on youtube. That picture will offend you way worse than Spain's pic.
Jesus.

42. #21 Micheal:
We will never know if Americans would think nothing of the Asian folks forcing their eyes open in a photo will we? BECAUSE NONE OF US ARE THAT STUPID. At this point they are behavingthis way on PURPOSE. Laughing at all us as if we are over -reacting.
I thought sports was all about sportsmanship? It seems to me that Spain is just a piece of work who could care less whom they offend. Like we all couldn't go on and on about them?!
Shame on you, your thinking is backwards. This is the kind of thing that isn't just 'a joke' to me. Besides, this hardly Freedom of speech. Its just plain nasty at this point. Maybe you should move to Spain with all your buddies.
Posted at 3:03PM on Aug 15th 2008 by Takes all kinds I guess
43. My family is from Portugal, and they are all raciists for the most part. Teh people of Spain do think they are better then other races/cultures. They hate the black people the most, and everyone else comes in a close second. Now, they wont admit this, but its true.
The people of Spain should be lucky the workd even tolerates them. They have caused much opression since the begining of time. Taking over continents, that simply wasnt thiers. Religious opression and the blood of many lies with Spain.
I say, leave the Spainards to themselves in thie own elitest world.

AND ALSO THINK ITS O.K. ABOUT DOING THIS THEY FIND NO PROBLEM WITH IT AND THEY SAID ITS OUT OF LOVE THEY DO IT. ALL SAY THE AMERICANS ARE BLOWING IT UP AND MAKING IT BIGGER THAN IT IS.

50. I have traveled around the world I have been to many different countries and Spain is by far the most RACIST country.
If you were not born there or you are not a Spainard then you are a second class citizen. You are not a modern country, sure you have modern technology, modern homes etc....but your thinking is still stuck in the middle ages. Spainards have no respect for other cultures you dont embrace other culture but your own. And that my friend is NOT MODERN

51. "Ignorant"? How is this picture or "Ridiculing a person's facial features.." lacking in knowledge??? If anybody is "ignorant" it's you for not knowing what the word "ignorant" means. Ooooooooor maybe you’re saying that Chinese people don’t have eyes shaped like that and therefore the Spaniards thinking they do is their ignorance?? Hmmmm, maybe?

53. Not too long ago Real Sports on HBO did a special on soccer in Spain. Whenever a black player from an opposing team would control the ball or make a goal members of the audience would throw BANANAS on to the field or shout racist remarks. It was horrible. The coach of that soccer team referred to a black player from France as a “Black Sh*t” after he made a righteous goal. He later apologized. They were fascist until like 1975, so what should we expect.
Posted at 4:00PM on Aug 15th 2008 by No SUrprise
54. The measure of a Nation is the attractiveness of their ruling class. Hahahah, nice!
And to the Howard Stern Lover, why in the world should Spain be made to embrace other cultures? It's that "one world but only if it's my image of the world" mentality that really bugs the crap out me. Dude! You want embrace other cultures? By all means, knock yourself out. But your expectation that EVERYONE else should is incredibly ethnocentric of you. Let others live the way they want, and if that means they don't "...embrace other culture but [their] own" let them do that. Screw you for thinking the world should conform to your beliefs and views. My culture is my culture and yours is yours and if I don’t want to blend them then I shouldn’t have to.

LET'S WORK IT OUT IN THE GAMES, NOTHING WAS SWEETER THAN THE BEAT DOWN THE FRENCH SWIMMERS TOOK FROM THE AMERICAN SWIM TEAM, AS THEY TRIED TO TRASH TALK THEIR WAY TO A MEDAL. A BULLY IS SIMPLY SOMEONE WHO IS NOT SURE OF THEIR OWN SKILLS SO THEY TRY TO LESSEN OTHERS. ANY WAY, WE ALL KNOW THAT IGNORANCE IS OUT THERE JUST LET IT GO AND TRY TO BE YOUR BEST IN LIFE..

Spain is not ugly. They are the true mother country where all Spanish descent come from. Ugly is Guatemalans are squat and short, prematurely wrinkly and have an evil teehee laugh. Leave Spain alone. If the black people are unahppy there noone told them to run over there from North Africa. Spain is not the USA who is putting up with all these illegal immigrants getting freebees while Americans have no healthcare and live paycheck to paycheck.

71. To Illuminati who wrote "I can't believe something so innocent gets so much play." Welcome to America brotha, welcome to America. Home of the "free"....so long as that freedom does not offend anybody.
I have a theory regarding this picture: The picture was taken so that it could be used as an advertisement. An advertisement was intended to be used in Spain. What was the purpose of that advertisement? I think it was to remind Spaniards of the Olympics and to get them to take interest and watch. What the single picture was meant to convey was this message “Spanish basketball team in Beijing China for Olympics”. What better why to do that then to show a picture of the team and with a single gesture conjuring “Chinese” to the mind of the viewer? If you were playing charades with a group of friends and you drew “Chinese Fortune Cookie” how would you pantomime it?
I don’t think it is maliciously intended. I think it was simply a clever, albeit insensitive, way to boost viewership for the games.
