Spain's basketball teams doesn't understand slant eyes gesture means racist.

EU: Its not that political correctness hasn't reached Spain the land of ape rights. But common sense and not being so myopic is needed in big doses.

The Spanish basketball team is in trouble over an advertisement showing the players from both the men's and the women's team using their fingers to make their eyes look more Chinese. The pictures, which has been running as a newspaper spread in Spain since Friday, shows both sets of players making the gesture on a basketball court adorned with a Chinese dragon. They were part of a publicity campaign for team sponsor Seur and is being used only in Spain.
