Paula Badosa "Mocks" Asians, Racism in Spanish Sports? | First Sports With Rupha Ramani
Spanish tennis star Paula Badosa finds herself at the center of a storm after a viral photo shows her pulling her eyes back with a chopstick. Badosa's picture led to accusations of racism. Despite her apology and withdrawal from the Wuhan Open, the incident raises questions about the broader issue of racism in Spain's sporting culture. Rupha Ramani explores the recent racism controversies surrounding Spanish sports. Is the issue reflective of a larger societal problem?

Spanish kids are taught doing this gesture is OK. There's a video of a Spanish boy doing it in front of his family and everyone were laughing.

It is stupid to say that all Spanish athletes are racist towards Asians because of the foolish antics of one athlete. This headline is ignorant. Indians forget that Rafael Nadal has a foundation in India and have spent $$millions on charity on Indian children.

Funny. Cuz her 'eyes' keep her from being a '10.' Not that she know it. My eye look a lot better than Badosa. But. I one in 1,8 billion. You know? There a chance I hit jackpot, much bigger payout. I no ask for it.

Just because pro westerners Anglo sepoy indians like you are racist doesn't mean all indians are racist. pro Anglo sepoys are racist but most indians don't support Anglo sepoy indians.also westerners reject decolonisation of americas.china and india didn't colonise americas.china and india don't support nato neo colonisation by usa and uk but westerners do.china and india don't support neo colonisation by dollarisation like usa does.only Anglo supporting sepoy india support west but global south criticises west
