    They believe because pooh is yellow in color they it aligns with racist stereotypes about Asians. They refuse to accept the origin of the meme was xi and Obama walking in a fashion just like pooh and Tigger.

    But Obama is not a tiger, is not orange. The meme has nothing to do with yellow.

      You got me curious about the origins of this. I’m pretty sure this image of Pooh and Tigger was made after the photo was taken, but it does seem to illustrate the point pretty well.

            I mean, the main demographic is preschoolers. Not exactly famous for their grasp of subtlety.

        Wow. Maybe you get the n-word pass as well as the yellowface pass then.

        Chinese people didn’t twist that one cute meme of Obama & Xi into an endless stream of Xing Xong Xi Man Bad memes, Western chauvinists did.

      And the meme originates from China. Why would the Chinese be racist against themselves? It really makes zero sense.

        .ml be like

        If you say anything bad about China, you’re racist

        If you say anything bad about Russia, you’re russophobic

        If you say anything good about the US, you’re an imperialist

          Dont forget the:

          “If you are ethnic Chinese, and you say anything bad about China, you are being internalized racist, and a 汉奸 (Han-Traitor).”

          🤣

          If you’re anti-authoritarian, you’re a brainwashed holocaust trivializing Joseph Goebbels following liberal. I wish that made any kind of sense whatsoever.

          And if you say anything bad about the US, you can be a mod or admin, and then learn the secret of Rule 1.
