why? its completely insensitive. if the olympics were held in israel and they all wore prosthetic noses, people would flip. or beards and turbans somewhere in the middle east. or black paint in africa. but somehow because its an asian ethnicity, this is all in good fun? might as well bring mickey rooney back for some more yellowface.
It's a fun picture who cares, I just think they are just having a joke I don't take offense and I'm Asian I even joke about my race and I get called a "smudge" of the Asian race by this uptight guy its I don't care neither should people care about the picture it's the 21 century get used to it just watch some Comedians like:Chris Rock,Russell Peters,etc.
Because it's completely harmless. There is no negative implications there at all. There's a lot of things more worthy to cry about. I don't think your comparisons are very fair, either.
Well the Spanish team better get ready for some good old fashing chinese booing when they play their games.
You are a moron. If you are really that ignorant, let me tell you 'slant eye' is racist and used to mock the Asians. What these r****ds had done is nothing different from the morons in the Italian soccer league who mocked the black soccer players with the "monkey" grunts. Would you also say there is no negative implications with the "monkey" grunts? You owe everyone here a more intelligent rebuttal then your last two garbage posts in this thread.
What's wrong with slant eye? I've never even heard of that term. It's all in good fun, but I guess everyone has to be overly careful with what they say or do. I have chinky eyes and if somebody were to call me slant eye I'd be like, 'nice observation, captain obvious!' Seriously though, is it a derogatory term or something in the states?
It is if you think it is when you take offense it just makes people want to say it for it to get to you.
If they were in Africa and did a "fat lip" pressing their lips forward with their fingers, they'd get lambasted
