This is how Spain celebrates a basketball win. Any comments round eyes?

[Los Broncos]

Nothing like celebrating a win by offending another race.

The Spanish sometimes do think their empire still exists

[cutthemdown]

How could they think that was funny? They didn't even wear little china man hats or have chopsticks in there ears. Totally weak.

Their empire does still exist! They own the.... uh.... ummmm..... Canary Islands maybe?

[orangeatheist]

Motherf's think that's funny but the second language everyone should be learning isn't Spanish, it's Chinese.

[Smiling Assassin27]

At least the other nations of Europe couch their racism in a subtle manner, these guys just let it all hang out. Stupid effort, boys...

There's a reason that every friggin top level European soccer match begins with the captains denouncing racism over the PA--because racism in Europe is part of the cultural fabric of the continent--always has been and likely always will be.

[Beantown Bronco]

They should at least have the common decency to wear cameras around their necks.

true ****, that is why Europe is totally shocked that the supposedly backwards United States is on the verge of having a president that is not from the majority group.

ummm, but anyways...shouldn't this thread be moved off the main board now?

[Jason in LA]

Yet another reason to hate Spain. Damn slave traders.

Which of the 1000 dialects?

[Atlas]

That's pretty harmless.

There is a really big story going around that most of the Chinese girls on the gymnastic team are all under 16. Some of them as young as 12. This is against international rules but what's funny is that they judge the age of these athletes by their passport, which you guess it is supplied by the country they are competing for.

Not really. Chinese sucks for computers because of the characters and inability to fit them on a keyboard. It's one of the reasons the Koreans have a tech and data processing edge over the Japanese and Chinese. However Chinese if very easy to speak.

No it's not. There is a lot anti-semitism, and general racism in Europe and he's right as it's more accepted over there.

I don't think he's denying that. He's calling BS on the part about the captains getting over the PA before every "top level" European match to denounce racism. They don't.

There is more anti-semitism in Asia, South America and Africa than in Europe.

There is no more racism in Europe than in the States, racism is just reported more because the press is still free in Europe, not owned by a few media conglomerates who do not care for actual reporting.

I have been to a few hundred "top level soccer games" in person and I yet have to hear one speech before the game with the captains denouncing racism. It´s pure BS, but believe whatever the media feeds you.

I don´t know whether racism generally is more accepted here than over there, but I don´t think it´s a huge problem in my country.

Hyperbole, Jens. Euro Final as well as UEFA Final both had team captains denouncing racism. Even 10 years ago, there'd be no mention of it, no?

As is now the tradition, the four quarter-finals on Saturday and Sunday are dedicated to the fight against racism. The team captains will read out a statement before kick-off, utterly rejecting all forms of discrimination in football and society with the words "No to racism". The teams then unite to line up with the match officials before kick-off, displaying a banner to the crowd bearing the slogan "Say no to racism".

From FIFA's website...

At each of the 64 matches, FIFA said a banner covering the entire centre circle would be displayed from the stadium’s opening until the end of the official pre-match protocol, bearing the tournament slogan: “A time to make friends” combined with the anti-racism message: “Say no to racism”.

In addition, anti-racism video spots would be aired at all FIFA World Cup stadiums. FIFA also planned to dedicate all quarter-finals on 30 June and 1 July to a special activity on the pitch to give the participating teams the chance to raise their voices against racism, in a message to be aired around the globe.

Racism in Europe? As opposed to the completely homogenous land of the chinese or japanese? Those are two completely closed cultures to outsiders/immigration yet the Europeans, who are generally accepting regarding their immigration policies are getting bashed by you guys because of a few Spaniards with bad taste? wake up.........

You were already to drunk to listen!

There is a lot of racism in europe, at least there was when I was there. You have the neo-nazis. There is a huge rift between the Turks and Euros, Gypsy's are frowned upon and so on.

whether its worse than here I don't know. Spend 4 years in the South and you will think no once can be as racist.
