  Oppression is when you stand in the way of a tank and the tank stops for you, and then you climb on top of the tank and have a conversation with the guy in the tank, and then you walk off completely unharmed

    Reporters were kept away by force and the CCP tried as hard as they could to hide all evidence. Crushed protestors were washed down drains with hoses, and many were whisked away to secret graves. Despite this, there is still significant photographic evidence

      There were actually numerous western reporters in the square and they all say nobody died there, some of them sent off diplomatic cables the same or the next day saying so, which were released by Wikileaks.

      Hey, did those protestors have bones? Were they wearing clothes? Do you have the first clue about how the human body and/or physics work?

      Things can undergo a transformation, just because the original usage might have been innocent. If something starts being used by white racists or western imperialist in a racist way, would ya look at that, it’s racist.

      Also, it’s covert racism. It gives people plausible deniability. Like you are doing now.

        You may be in different circles than me. In my circles, it is used to poke fun at Xi Jinping, not the Chinese people. It is a caricature, just as we draw caricature of our own politicians. Despite the CCP’s attempts, Westerners distinguish between race and state. Xi Jinping is not China and China is not Xi Jinping.

      And you realise that watermelons originated in Africa, right?

      You realise that the origin of something doesn’t determine the depictions of it supporting racist stereotypes, such as a vast array of disgustingly racist caricatures of black people eating watermelons isn’t absolved by the fact that it originated in Africa, right?

  How dare those tanks not run over that man! Don’t they understand that freedom is when you just plow into people like US security forces do.
