          The only thing more to it is that Xi tried to have it scrubbed and censored, so now it’s also used to mock the dude for being a tyrannical asshat. Hittin’ that Streisand Effect.

          There wouldn’t have been if they didn’t make such a big deal about it. It would have been a funny picture we all forgot about by now.

          To you not see the tall/thin and shorter/rounder part? Are you being deliberately obtuse?

          The fact that Xi Streisand-ed it hell and back.

          The same way calling Bibi a murderer isn’t antisemitic calling Xi Winnie is not racist.

          Government leaders are not a protected class/race, sorry.

            if anything, I’d say they deserve MORE scrutiny.

            This doesn’t make any sense.

            The same way calling Bibi a murderer isn’t antisemitic

            I’ve heard from quite a few ranking Democrats that calling Bibi a murder is antisemitic.

            Government leaders are not a protected class/race, sorry.

            Why do westerners insist in finding excuses to inject racist caricatures into a discussion about civil rights? I simply don’t understand why shouting “Look at Netanyahu, the greedy hook-nosed jew holding a bag of gold!” benefits anyone in any way. It just seems like 4chan levels of racism-for-racism’s-sake.

            Are all liberals this desperate to spew slurs or is it just the terminally online ones?

              You don’t know the Streisand effect? Look it up. The meme started as a joke on a Chinese forum and spread on its own, then Xi started forbidding its use, which riled people up popularizing the meme even more. It’s a clear case of the Streisand effect.

              Don’t care what some Democrats do. I’m not American and my statement stands.

              It’s not racist tho??? The Bibi reference you used explicitly calls him a Jew and uses a known Jew caricature, it’s completely different from a meme originating in China based on the low resblance both in posture and figure, nothing to do with skin colour.

              Yeah no, this is clear bait. Have a good day.
