Umm absolutely I do. They are mocking another race..

I'm not sure if I would call it racist, but I would call it just plain stupid. I'm sure it offended people, so they should apologize ASAP! Seriously? Kids do that on the playground!l What were they thinking?!

Answer 7

i dunno whats up with those spainards because this is the second team that has done that and it is so disrespectful considering there going to the country their mocking not like the chinese are coming to them i mean hello arent they concerned about there safety let alone if they will be thrown out of the country i mean china is still a communist country another classic  action before think  

Answer 8

I don't know if it's jealously. That's like saying the white people who use to dress up in blackface were jealous of black people : /  And the Spanish team isn't Hispanic, they're just Spanish. From Spain=Spanish.

Who knows WHY they did it? The Spaniards aren't exactly known for their modesty nor political correct-ness (Throwing bananas at a soccer game and calling people monkey aren't exactly sportsmanship). Nor are they known for tolerating other cultures/races. Personally, I think it's ignorance. This is just another blow to the Spanish team.  

Answer 9

I still can't decide if it's racist or not, but I will tell you one thing: it's just plain stupid.

Answer 10

omg

Answer 11

Most definitely.  

Answer 12

Definitely, even thought they may not have meant it that way. especially under the circumstances under which they did it, they were cruising for a bruising.

Answer 13

If its from Spain yes it is. People from Spain are very racist, this is not the first time it has happened when it comes to sports. I think last year a Spaniard team called the Jamaican Team, monkeys. Spaniards like to make fun of other countries. I live in Puerto Rico and they are a few Spaniards that still say they are superior than us puerto ricans, because they civilized us, thats what they say. so, imagine how they would critize other people in the world. Even if you look white and dont speak Spanish like they do, with their accent, they will descriminate you anyways. Spaniards consider themselve the only human superior race compared to other countries.  

Answer 14

yup
