No, no according to the Spanish Basketball team, they aren’t making an offensive, stereotype promoting gesture in that team photo. Your eyes and sensibilities are wrong. They are not making “slant eyes” they are “winking” and felt it was an appropriate gesture and felt that it was “somewhat loving”.
Someone needs to smack the Spanish basketball team with a serrano ham.
