Is this racist?

From the comments:

"The ad is meant to represent that the players are focused on their challenge in Beijing, and looking forward to it. If anything, the dragon on the center court clearly shows that there is respect for the country hosting them. That?s the way it was thought up, and that?s the way it was understood by its target audience."

:laugh: What a load of shit. And what a stupid move by releasing this ad.
 
What is crazy about this movie is this is Spain. Not some stupid little country. It's SPAIN and they pull this shit? Seriously, nobody from the artistic director to the caterer at the shoot had something to say about this?

These bullshit explanations offend me more than the pictures themselves. Reminds me of that racist article written by the Princetonian and the bullshit explanation they wrote in defense of it

Europeans are racist in general anyway, not too surprising it came from Spain.
 
The same people who complain about racism/stereotypes then go laugh thier ass off to "The Kings of Comedy" or..*gulp*....that mexican that steals everyones jokes even.

I hate people.

Those people run with bulls. They aren't limp wristed pansy-asses.

Cry to someone who cares and will comfort you. Maybe they'll make you a salad with some dolphin-safe tuna.
 
Youse folks say racism like it's a bad thing...embrace the race! Run mutha-fucka RUN!
(look at that little monkey run!) 😀
 
How in the hell is it racism?

Do chinese have slant eyes? YES

I swear that word is tossed around so much that I don't think people even know what it means anymore.
