I have no doubt that you or I would expect this picture to cause an uproar. We live in a very racially sensitive country where everything likely to cause a racial uproar. How sensitive are other countries? Have Spain and China had racial issues in the past? I'm not saying that the Spanish people shouldn't have known better since I don't know the related racial sensitivities, but I don't discount the possibility that maybe they had no reason to know better.

BINGO!

Thanks, you explained perfectly what i have been trying to say all the time but it seems i was not able or you were the only to understand it
