Ah, such a serious world we live in.
I'm gonna go against the grain here. I find it hilarious.
If the chinese team had a sense of humor, they would have made a picture of the team dancing around sombreros wearing flamenco shoes, or even darkened their own skin and pulled their own eyes into an exaggerated downward slanted look with a scoreboard behind them showing the chinese winning the game. Is this juvenile? Yes, absolutely. However if you show anger when someone pokes at you, you lose. Laugh and poke back, and everyone gets the joke. The chinese gov't has the collective sense of humor of a hornet's nest though (and I wonder of about some people here, come on folks) so this reaction of outrage is not surprising.
To me, this is why we don't get along, folks. It's not the ignorance, it's the reactions.
