What the Spanish team did wasn't funny because they're dumb jocks.
When you offend, you have to do it with flava.

So you wrote it to offend any onlooking Asians? The Spanish team probably weren't trying to offend anyone with that picture. You, however, are starting to cross the line.

I keep asking Asian or pac-islander friends about this, and not one of them has cared even a little. Many thought it was funny. I love defending people when I feel they're being mistreated, but I'm having trouble really getting worked up about this one because I feel like I'd be defending political correctness and not actual people.

As I said previously, I'm not offended by what they did. I think the Chinese (who were booing the Spain basketball team during their match against China) tend to be a little more uptight about these matters. The difference might be that they live in China, and they probably don't see anyone doing that. Your friends are most likely living around areas with less Asians and more Europeans/Americans/non-Asians, so they have seen things like this before.
