Spain's basketball team: racists or just stupid?

Spain_basketball I'd love to meet the genius behind this marketing campaign. 

According to the Guardian UK website Spain's Basketball Federation published this photo of the team with all of them pulling the sides of their eyes into slit-eyed gestures.  Some argue the photo is innocent fun but many others are declaring it to be juvenile at best and worst outright racism. 

You be the judge, do you think this photo is offensive or is it just being blow out of proportion?
