Spain’s Olympic Basketball Team: Racists or Just Foolish Dudes?

What do you think of this? And what were these guys thinking? If they were looking for a way to make the otherwise friendly Chinese fans unfriendly, then they sure found a pretty good way to do it.

For context, this is an pre-Olympic Games advertisement for a courier company. Whoever conceptualized this ad deserves to be fired for any of the following reasons: a) racism, b) outright stupidity, and c) cultural insensitivity and cluelessness.

Interesting to see how the people have diverted their attention from what could be a mouth watering clash betwen USA/Greece.

I won’t waste my time on this issue that was just made big by some stupid people.
