Are all people in Spain racist?

After reading the F1 article on the fan taunting about Hamilton, I have to wonder if everyone in Spain hates people of any color except their own? It reminds me of when their basketball team slanted their eyes in pictures as if they were Chinese at the Olympic games in China. What are your thoughts?

    There are about 46 million people living in Spain, a few idiots hardly make the whole nation racist!

    Try finding a country that doesn't have its idiots.

    I believe that in Spain they are less racist than in other countries, like England or the United States. Alive in Spain from 1970 and never I have felt discriminated. If there is a minority that is racist, we cannot include all the population. And I believe that what passage in the olympic games, was only a joke, I do not believe that they wanted to offend the Chinese. A greeting

    It's because people are so stupid and ignorant that its almost funny. When people hear "Spanish" the first thing that comes to their head is a mexican. Its ridiculous because the Spaniards and the Mexicans are almost exact opposites on the food chain, physically and mentally. The language the Mexicans speak is Spanish. Spanish as in Spain. The reason most mexicans have some Spanish in their appearance is because of their ancestry. A 'full-blooded' Mexican looks almost exactly the same as a Native American of the United States area. The Spanish culture has had such an impact on Mexican culture, that it's one of the strongest examples of 'co-culture' in the whole world. but the spanish are so heavily associated with mexico for that reason that words like "Spanish", "latino/latina", "hispanic", and many others are thought to consist for both spain and mexico. The residents of the U.S. don't even realize they're two different countries anymore.

    The question is racist in nature. You are making a generalization based on a few examples.

    I remember that the Spanish press mentioned one family that wasn't, but I think they were approaching with a more balanced stance! :)
