  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.

      Who the fuck am I being racist to? Asians? As an Asian myself?

      Nowhere have I said that. Them having that kind of education since a kid is a fact. And you clearly haven’t been on Chinese social media to see what bullshit the pinkies say on there.

        I’ve seen a Chinese history textbook for kids in high school and it’s just generic history using a Marxist lens and framing the CPC as the current administrative body. They list accomplishments of the party, yeah, but that’s because they have accomplishments they can point to.

        It’s a lot better than how my American school tried to get me to worship slave owners like Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton.

    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
