China has lashed out at Germany after its foreign minister called Xi Jinping a “dictator” and summoned Berlin’s ambassador for a dressing down, in the latest flaring of tensions with a western democratic power over how the Chinese leader is described overseas.
You have to be joking.
Right, because the meme about a Chinese man being a yellow bear isn’t racist.
It’s not racist
Dehumanizing people through racism is a well established method the US has historically used when manufacturing consent to go to war among its people. Look at depictions of Germans and Japanese in WWII. Look at depictions of Koreans, the Vietnamese, Afghans, and Iraqis during the invasions of their countries.
Just because its origins weren’t racist doesn’t mean it hasn’t taken on a racist meaning. Sinophobia is rooted in racism and ignorance.
It’s one guy, not a caricature of Chinese people
Edit to mention that the guy in question is a dictator
Right, because if you allow racist tropes a little bit of leeway they won’t become normalized and propagate over time.
How has voting in your bastion of democracy been working out for you? Did you get to vote to go to war? It’s not like your leaders are any less authoritarian.
I’m allowed to criticize my government without being hauled off to fucking jail, how’s that for freedom?
The US arrests journalists for not revealing their sources that are damaging towards the US government. I wonder why they want to know those sources so badly? Maybe Julian Assange or Edward Snowden.
Not from the US? That’s ok!
Plenty of European countries also have laws on the books to deal with you harassing government officials. I’m not even going to bother going into the topic of how these same governments quiet the dissent of socialists to this day. Turns out, if they feel like your criticism is damaging enough, they CAN haul you off to fucking prison.
Say it louder and I’m sure that will make it true. YOU ARE FREE!
The most recent case you can find is from 2006? Jesus, dude. Please, I beg of you, get outside and interact with a person face to face. It has to have been years for you at this point.
No you’re not! Even people outside of the US are hauled off to its torture camps for criticising its war crimes and atrocities. Ask Assange.
Nice whataboutism, tankie.
“Haha, gotcha tankie! Now I can deflect away from the argument and dismiss everything you said because I baited you and you responded.”
Clown.
Daily reminder that ch*na actively and purposefully discriminates against sexual minorities.
LMAO cry more, tankie idiot.
Brain worms.
