(70,685 posts)At some Olympics in China the Spanish (hockey/soccer?) team was team pictured each one of them stretching their eyes "slant."
My point is that just about all other nationalities/cultures would yield examples of their own incorrectness.

[font size=5]Olympics: Spain's eye-catching faux pas[/font]
Spain's Olympic basketball teams have risked upsetting their Chinese hosts by posing for a pre-Games advert making slit-eyed gestures. The advert for a courier company, which is an official sponsor of the Spanish Basketball Federation, occupied a full page in the sports daily Marca, the country's best-selling newspaper.
The advert features two large photographs, one of the men's basketball team, above, and one of the women's team. Both squads pose in full Olympic kit on a basketball court decorated with a picture of a Chinese dragon. Every single player appears pulling back the skin on either side of their eyes. The advert carries the symbol of the sport's governing body.
No one involved in the advert appears to have considered it inappropriate nor contemplated the manner in which it could be interpreted in China and elsewhere. No offence was intended by the advert, but whether the Chinese see it that way is a different matter and it is likely to provoke more criticism at a delicate time for Spanish sport. The failure to recognise the potential consequences is striking in the light of the problems Spain has had with issues of race and the Spanish Olympic committee's continued desire to host the Games in Madrid in 2016 or 2020.
In the past the Spanish have been left in no doubt as to the sensitivity of racial issues internationally, especially since Spain's football manager, Luis Aragonés, made his infamous remark about Thierry Henry, monkey chants greeted England's football players in a friendly game in Madrid and the formula one driver Lewis Hamilton was subjected to abuse in Barcelona.

(70,685 posts)Understandably (sarcasm), it was his provincialism in "mistaking" that word for "coyote" because of his 1950s upbringing in a church/ethnic schooling where he has ZERO idea of other cultures.

He'll quickly find out that there may be some people who laugh at those jokes, but on the whole, it's not going to go over well.

(23,664 posts)and I always sorta didn't like Tiger all that much because it appeared that things came too easy to him.
That's all changed now. IMO Tiger got a crappy deal from the press for the first year or two after his "troubles" and I've been a big fan ever since. Meanwhile, Sergio seems doomed to be the latest BPWNWAM (Best Player Who Never Won A Major) and it appears to be getting into his head.
