Spain: Racist And Proud

Hey Pau, Yao Ming is going to beat you down.

Do you realise that? Yao is 7′6″, playing in front of his home crowd, on the world stage, and he is going to wreck you so badly. Because you went and made the above. Can we analyse this picture just briefly? It’s so mind-boggling on a number of levels:

  • The Spanish national team thinks racism fundamentally constitutes ‘humour.’
  • The Spanish national team thinks racism still constitutes humour in 2008.
  • The Spanish national team thinks racism still constitutes humour in 2008, in the context of the Olympics.
  • The Spanish national team thinks racism still constitutes humour in 2008, in the context of the Olympics, and is so convinced of this they release this photo.

Incredible, not only because 18th century attitudes are still apparently evocative of the national sense of humour, but for the stunning ignorance (read: two millenia of endemic European superiority) behind thinking the rest of the world would enjoy it too.

Fingers crossed now for a publicly released photo of the Chinese national team variously taking a siesta and sexually harassing some women.

  1. Seriously Spain seems to be a relatively racist country.

    Look at some of the fan behaviour toward british footballers, and the Spanish fans mercilessly heckled Lewis Hamilton as well earlier in the year.

    Spain, does it have a problem?
