How would you answer this, and how would you expect Chinese netizens on Xiaohongshu to answer?

I will link to the thread in the comments because I want you to take a moment and think about it first.

It started as a picture with Obama as Tigger and Xi as Pooh, together, then Shinzo Abe as Eeyore and Xi as Pooh again. Then, westerners loved the Pooh imagery and used it a ton, still do. It was always based on appearance from the origin, not becayse Pooh is an idiot or anything, that's just not true. Moreover, now you can see non-Chinese people making caricatures of Xi that are without a doubt racist using the Pooh thing as justification.

I don't know why you're getting so mad either.
