Well yes, because he's characterized for being of different race. It's not the same as having big ears...
Not that I'm in agreement with this article or anything, I do agree that there is a double standard when media is calling someone
racist. If
black fans would insult Alonso for being Spanish no one would give much damn.
As for the Spanish fans, I don't see a problem, this provocations are common in sport, that doesn't mean they're 'racist' (the word itself has less and less meaning, almost like being a 'fascist' or 'nazi').
