I'm actually with you on this. That's why I called the photos racist, but the players dumb-asses. It seems that this was all rooted in extreme ignorance rather than intentional maliciousness, but their inability to understand the reactions they're getting make me think that 1- they're even dumber than I thought, or 2- they're now hiding their maliciousness behind a weak veil of ignorance. Given past incidents that we've seen in Spanish sports, I lean towards option 2.
