They were the only one who used the term. They might've been calling someone else out, but they did it using racist terminology that no one else was using. In doing so they sacrificed the high ground they're attempting to lord over from.

When I first saw a hexbear user say it, it took me a moment to figure out what they meant. I was like "oh yeah, yellow was a racist way of referring to Asian people, from like 50 years ago". Way to keep racism alive, congratulations.

Every accusation a confession.

Yeah and you obviously haven't read anything about race for 50 years

I'm Chinese, and I live in a country town in the West.

Trust me, it's not Hexbear keeping racism alive.

I've been called yellow on multiple, multiple occasions. Do you actually think white people have ceased calling us yellow???

50 years ago? Try last month.
