Care to explain how calling a person of Asian ancestry Pooh Bear isn't incredibly racist?
Ah yes, Winni the Pooh a well stand-in for Asian people.
Not at all a representation of one person, a certain Xi Jinping, who was the butt of Chinese memes comparing him to the bear, and further reinforced by his governments censorship of Winni the poor relating in the Streisand effect.
Think before you speak Hexbear chud.
Take a look at my nick. Yes, that's a Chinese name. Are we doing the Jewish antisemitism thing?
As an Asian: I have never once met a single other Asian who thinks the pooh meme is racist. Even the Chinese pro-CCP crowd understands it's targeting Xinnie specifically. I've only ever heard the 'racist' take from white folks defending Xinnie. Thanks for your concern guys, but there's really no need
Extremely interesting that the people who say this always start with "As an Asian" and not "As a Chinese person". Being Asian doesn't give you any special experience on Sinophobia just as being a Frenchman or a Brit doesn't give a person any special experience on anti-Ziganism or European Islamaphobia (except maybe as a perpetrator).
What do you mean, I often start conversations by saying 'As an Afro-Eurasian from America'.
who brought up race first tho
Did the first sentence of my reply not already state that I'm Chinese? It's literally my nick!
I'd like to see you make a meme of Obama and Tigger then...
I've met several Asian people, online and offline, who consider it racist to compare an Asian person to a yellow-colored cartoon character.
well I haven't
It's the hexbear brigade. Both, with some state actors sprinkled in for flavour
