When satire and radical outrage converge.
Comment on Is there a way to block hexbear
Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 1 year agoAs an Asian/Taiwanese, I do not understand why Hexbearians feel the need to point out what’s racist for us.
You dont speak for billions of Chinese people. The fact that you chose to refer to Chinese people in the third person speaks to that.
Thank you for telling on yourself and your separatist friends for using racist memes in social media though.

You don’t either. Stop with your self imposed superiority.

You know who does speak for billions of Chinese people though? The guy you’re making a racist caricature of.

I don’t understand why you feel the need to protect a head of state of another country from being parodied either. If you live in China where they teach you to obey the rules of the CCP, thank the CCP and Xi for everything they provide, and basically view Xi as a god, then yeah I can see why. But you live in a Democratic state. The government is supposed to serve YOU, not the other way around. Sure you can show the leader some respect if you want, but it doesn’t mean everyone has to either. You don’t live in China where you can’t even make jokes about their leader.
Again, its a parody of Pooh, which is yellow. It has nothing to do with having yellow skin. If Pooh somehow is white/green/pink, that pic would be white/green/pink.

I understand your need to reframe my objections to racist caricatures in general as being a defense of someone you’re trying to demonize with your racism. But if you weren’t being racist to asian people generally when you say it’s acceptable to do minstrel show level racism to the right targets, you’re certainly being racist towards Chinese people in general right now when you’re using this stereotype of them being hive minded and easily brainwashed.
Sounds like Christian fundamentalists talking about Arabs.

Americans are not using it in the same context you are talking about.
Racists co-opt things, this one was just easier to do than most

Did you happen to vote for him?

Silly bear, voting is only allowed in fascist countries.

I at least speak for one Chinese person, me. You claim not to be Chinese, so you speak for zero Chinese people.

I can read Chinese, and understand what people say on their social media. So let me ask you then, when you see a picture of Xi depicted as Winnie the Pooh, do you see it as an insult to your leader, or as racism in general? Cause from what I see, the point of “yellow skin” never came up in the conversations.
