Humourless Chinese Live Up to Racial Stereotype Yet Again!!

spanishbasketballteam.JPG

Is NOT a Chinese reference, is a very funny reference to Mongs!!

I espect you have all seen the papers complaining about the Spanish men’s basketball team making the slitty-eyes gesture before going off to compete in the Olympic Games in Beijing. Once again, the stupid mass media are getting the wrong end of the stick, and the so-called Chinese community in America is complaining about being offended. Typical Chinese! They are not having a sense of humour about anything at all. Besides, anyone who have ever been to China will know that they are all a terrible racist country (and filthy as well, with their coughing up phlegms and spitting in the streets), even to people such a myself who is diminutive and olive skinned and hairy. They think that their country is the best in the world (clearly none of them has been to Spain!!), that foreigners are devils and ghosts, and that Western food such as McDonalds and Kentucky Fride Chicken is muck, whereas their so-called food, such as Chop Suey, sushi, and Yorkshire terrier on a stick, is delicious. They are nothing more than a bunch of barbarians, no matter how many walls they build. Even the Irish can build walls!!

Is time, I think, to clear up this matter once and for all. The slitty-eyes gesture the basketball players is making is not a reference to the Chinese people. Is a reference to the 2000 Paralympic Games in Sydney, Australia. If you do not remember, the Spanish basketball team at the competition was kicked out of the event when it was found that nearly everyone on the team was not intellectually challenged at all. Normally, of course, having an IQ of under 85 is an advantage for an athlete and nothing to be sniffled at, but in the Paralympics the only way the Spanish team was going to win was by including players who could tie ther own shoes and knew which end they had to shoot the ball at (This whole event was satirized in an appallingly bad taste movie starring Johnny Knoxville called, I think, Jackass II.)

In Spain, this banning of our team cause a major sensation because once again it show that the Olympic Games and its various offshoots are an Anglo-Saxon Illuminati conspiracy designed to humiliate the Latin races; indeed, that is precisely why basketball was invented in the first place. Thus, in an act of defiance, when the Spanish basketball team come to play in Beijing, they all make a pretence to be peoples having the Down’s syndrome, challenging the International Olympic Committee to ban them from the Games. Is their way of saying to the IOC, “Is this alright? As you can see, we are all mongs now.”

Is important that the rest of us Latin people demonstrate solidarity with the Spanish basketball team, who are already being picked on by hypocrite journalists and officials from other countries who are calling them racist and prejudiced and discriminatory, when in fact none of THEIR teams have any mongs on them either. Nor do they even have athletes from other countries on them. So who is the racists now?

I am trying to get a petition going in Spain for a national day of slitty eyes, perhaps this Sunday. I am asking all Spanish people and people of Spanish estraction to spend an hour, from 12 until 1, pulling a slitty-eye face when they go to the shops or to church or to the local bar or to their brothel. Of course, none of this will not be a problem for my brother, Hornolo, who spend his entire teenage years making the slitty-eye face, he masturbate so vigourously. You know, dogs used to come from miles around, drawn by the smell of meat cooking.

Anyway, as you can see from my pictures, already some other athletes are showing solidarity. Here is the Spanish ladies’ tennis team doing the mong:

Here is also the Argentinean ladies football team, very nice girls, even though I disagree with the idea of ladies doing sports at all:

Some people have said that this is a stupid idea of me and that I am just attempting to promote slitty-eye day as a way of self-aggrandizement and to promote myself. This is an absurd accusation. This is a really important campaign. But Spanish people’s racism is not the issue here. The issue is the persecution of the Spanish people by lazy foreign journalists and Spain-hating Communist Jews. And I am determined that we will draw a line in the sand (prerefably on the beach volleyball court), across which we will not let anybody cross. Ever. And if everything goes well, my campaign will be on all the front pages of the Spanish newspapers this weekend, barring, of course, a major national catastrophe. I will have a word with Our Lady to make sure nothing happens!

  1. [...] Speaking of racists, Manuel claims that the Spanish Basketball Team’s slitty eyes affair wasn’t a racial slur. Rather it was only to show that they really were mongs! [...]

    "The energy watchdog, the International Energy Agency, is warning for the first time that oil output could pass its peak as power shifts from "super-majors" to national companies controlled by producer states. It highlights a potential oil-supply crunch. The unprecedented wake-up call comes as the European commission says in a report due out tomorrow that while oilfields decline, the balance of supply and demand will become "increasingly tight, possibly critically so"."

    It adds: "The need to address climate change will require a massive switch to high-efficiency, low-carbon energy technologies."

Or hear the International Monetary Fund warn of imminent "systemic meltdown." "

  • New Left Review - David Harvey: The Right to the City

    Read this while Stevie Wonder's 'Living in the City' is playing in the background

    "We live in an era when ideals of human rights have moved centre stage both politically and ethically. A great deal of energy is expended in promoting their significance for the construction of a better world. But for the most part the concepts circulating do not fundamentally challenge hegemonic liberal and neoliberal market logics, or the dominant modes of legality and state action. We live, after all, in a world in which the rights of private property and the profit rate trump all other notions of rights. I here want to explore another type of human right, that of the right to the city."
