Chinese here. Thanks everybody for fighting racism on my behalf. I’d just like to point out that I’ve never considered, or met any other Chinese person who considered, the Xinnie meme racist.
For what it’s worth, I’ve never even noticed the skin colour connotation as I just laughed at the matching stance the two of them shared and moved on. I think the people that immediately noticed that over the obvious comedy are telling on themselves and their own latent racist ideas.

I have. Especially in the context most westerners use it. You’re welcome.
And I know Indians who don’t think swastikas are racist. Doesn’t mean racists don’t use symbols and images as a trojan horse for racism.
