There has been much controversy made by the photo of the Spanish men's basketball team making "chinese eyes."

I doubt they did this with any malicious intent, but I guess it could be considered offensive.

What do you think?

Typical media making something out of nothing.

Maybe in bad taste, but by definition, it is not racist. Could it be art? lol

I read somewhere that the Chinese apparel manufacturer (Li Ning (a former world class gymnast)) that supplies the Spanish basketball team in the Beijing Olympics requested this type of photo.

I'd hate to envision their hands if the Games were being held in Nairobi....
