When this is done and if the skewer misses a few vital organs, the unfortunate rat goes above the flame alive.
The person doing the cooking found it quite amusing as the rat struggles to free itself as it is slowly cooked, suffering agonising pain.
That shocked me more than people eating rats.
Edit: It is unfair of me to suggest that everyone does this, I am sure the considerate take measures to reduce the rats suffering before before being cooked.

Lesotho - for the kids all begging for sweets no matter where you stop. They seem to spawn even in the middle of nowhere for which one can blame previous tourists. The soldiers are scary and drugged up on marijuana, while the cops are corrupt and it's crime ridden. I detest the place.

I don't see what's racist about it. Does this make me a racist? 😕
if someone told you that your action was offensive to them, you would acknowledge your ignorance.
this was not done so by the spanish team, who went into denial mode

depends.

After that, there's always media pressure to say it is "inappropriate" when publicly asked about it. Just like the Spanish team apologized publicly even when it's clear in the Spanish media that everybody feels there was nothing wrong in the picture.
But that didn't answer my question. Why would anyone see it as racist?

In Australia it would be seen as racist and derogatory towards people of Asian descent. Why not there??
If you are deliberatley denigrating people of a certain ethnicity, that is racist. Those basketballers were making their eyes "slits".
Now unless there was a truck load of direct sunlight in these guys faces at the time, they were being rude and deserve censure.

Because Australia does not dictate what the world should feel and think?
Because nobody cares what Australians think?
Because Spaniards are not as moronic as Australians?
Please pick the one you fancy the most.
