Spanish Basketball Team Picture – Racist?

So my friend just forwarded me this article: Spanish basketball team poses for offensive picture, which shows the Spanish Basketball Team posing for a team picture, while slanting their eyes with their hands. I’m still baffled by it and trying to figure out why they would do such a thing. Personally, I’m pretty offended, but I wanted to send a feeler out there and see what you all out there thought of it as well. Post your comments below…

this is not a racist photo is just HUMOR Spaniards do not like killing people in Vietnam or Irak. We are not racist, if someone laugh about if we are hairy we would not mind.It´s just a joke. and why is racist? do you think is a bad thing having the eyes like that? do you think is it an insult? because we do not think so
