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.

Samuel Sanchez Scores One Gold for España
Good for you Samuel Sanchez for winning a gold medal for Spain. Now bring those hands down because they remind me of them irritating televangelists who I force myself to watch if there’s nothing interesting on TV.
Congratulations. Felicidades! [Note: The guys over here are debating whether felicidades or felicitaciones is the right translation for congratulations.]
