"Chinese man looks yellow" is not helping your cause

That isn't the point of the meme, dipshit.

Also, Pooh is a brownish orange.

The meme has no context or explanation, I just assumed it was a racist caricature

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It was started by a user of a Chinese social network, and was subequently censored in China and became a meme used by those critical of the government. It lives on becuase of how the government of China continues to suppress dissent.

Great job jumping to incorrect conclusions!

So you think you can be racist just because a Chinese person used it first? Do you think you can use the N word because black people use it?

I'm not being racist you fucking donkey.
