  As an Asian: I have never once met a single other Asian who thinks the pooh meme is racist.

  Extremely interesting that the people who say this always start with “As an Asian” and not “As a Chinese person”. Being Asian doesn’t give you any special experience on Sinophobia just as being a Frenchman or a Brit doesn’t give a person any special experience on anti-Ziganism or European Islamaphobia (except maybe as a perpetrator).

    What do you mean, I often start conversations by saying ‘As an Afro-Eurasian from America’.

    Did the first sentence of my reply not already state that I’m Chinese? It’s literally my nick!

  I’ve met several Asian people, online and offline, who consider it racist to compare an Asian person to a yellow-colored cartoon character.
