Urgghh between Busquets' 'mono' fuckery and the basketball team's shit and Sergio Ramos' and Gonzalo Higuian's blackfacing and Esteban Granero saying we Asians (specifically we Chinese) all look the same and all the fuckery the fans yell and throw at the players of colour during matches... Villa Llona, why don't you leave home more often and see for yourself? >:|

I don't understand the "mono" thing; what does it mean?

[ian_exclamation]

It means 'monkey' in (Spain) Spanish. =\

And no racism in Spain? Bullllshit! I lived there for a month (not long, granted) but even in that short time I was appalled at some of the things I heard.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh. Yeah, OK, that's really foul.

That picture at the bottom was exactly what sprang to mind when I read the title.

Yeah, Spain, go on, pull the other leg.

Mmm hmm. Denial is just a river in those negro and a-rab countries.

[pleasure_past]

wtf. This is awful.

I was livid when I first read this. But then, think of it, denial is the standard way of dealing with racism in Spain, so this really isn't new. It's pathetic to deny something like racism, but then there you go.
