I found this tonight and I have to say I was APPALLED. I know in the article it says it is all in fun BUT as a mom of 2 Asian sons I see NOTHING funny about it. My boys and husband have had things said about them and I find it INSULTING.

WTF?????
WOW! It is amazing that the photograph was actually taken in the first place...where was the coach? Not Cool....
I can't believe the photo was not only taken - but THEN it was published??? WTF is right!
The sad thing about that photo is that I am sure the kids on the team and the coach would tell you that they are not racists. They would say it was just a joke and the victims of thier "humor" are too sensitive.
Racism is insidious and far from dead.
US beat Spain in basketball today.
Here's another article on the Spanish team photo. http://sports.yahoo.com/olympics/beijing/basketball/news;_ylt=Agq0jereORi5zdvwW6UVY0K8vLYF?slug=aw-nbaspainphoto081308&prov=yhoo&type=lgns
