'Slit-eyed' Spanish Olympians

Call it a double fault by the Spanish tennis team.
Following a controversial ad featuring Spain's basketball team competing at the Beijing Games pulling back the skin on their eyelids to look Chinese, a photo surfaced yesterday showing a group of female Spanish tennis players doing the same thing. The latest photo to emerge shows Spanish women tennis players pulling the pose, apparently in anticipation of their Federation Cup match against China in April.
Pictures of the Spanish men’s and women’s basketball teams making the gesture, a crude impersonation of Chinese people, were published in adverts in Spanish newspapers earlier this week.
The photos, which were reprinted around the world, added to Spanish sport's poor reputation for racial sensitivity.
The latest image appears to show players in Spain’s Federation Cup team doing the “slit-eyed” gesture along with members of their support staff. There is no suggestion that they intended to cause offense.
