A sideline reporter for basketball games in the Olympics, said something like, “these gestures aren’t a big deal in China and they are less politically correct than in America. This isn’t an issue. ”
The Spanish players didn’t think it was a big deal either.
The reason why the Chinese in China aren’t as offended as someone like me can be easily explained. They didn’t grow up being mocked with the chinkeye gesture or being called “chingchong”. We are the minority here. It isn’t about political correctness, it’s about being an ass. Can you imagine if the Spanish team posed in “black face”?
In the Prince Philip scale of racist gestures this is a 8.
