So the Argentinian Soccer team—following in the footsteps of Paul Gasol and the Spanish team—brings their version of the slant-eyed Chinese slur to the Olympics.
Yeah, because when I touch down in a country of 1.3 billion deep that's also been known to make its own citizens disappear for publicly criticizing the government/aspects of society, the one thing that goes through my head is "let's make fun of the locals!"
Way to go, Argentina.
Besides Asian stereotypes, Argentina's finest have managed to re-enforce another stereotype—
the dumb jock.
