Offensive Picture or Not?


Spain's Olympic basketball team, including Los Angeles Lakers star Pao Gasol posed for an advertisment in which all the players were slanting their eyes. With the Olympics being held in China, many found this offensive. The Spanish team intended this photo to be "in good fun." What do you think?

Humor is different everywhere in the world along with cultural exchanges among two peoples. But I'd like to think the Spaniards didn't mean to create division or have ill intentions among the Olympic hosts. Despite that, shit would not ride in the states. That would cause a stir for sure.

you'd think SOMEBODY there the players, the photographer, the advertisers, somebody would've spoke up and said this is derogatory.
