What? Winnie the Pooh is from a British cartoon...Asian people aren't described as "orange" by racists. I don't think you know the origin of this meme
Please illustrate how a British cartoon character is a racist caricature of xi? Is Barack Obama a tiger?
The origin of the meme is not what I have issue with. The issue is with its use in Western countries and the history of how these countries stoke sinophobia. Criticism rooted in racism spills over into the mistreatment of people from the country that is the source of that racist sentiment in addition to foreigners.
If you aren't familiar with the history of racism, go read up on it.
Seek fresh air, seems you have CO poisoning
Yes, too much capitalist oppression has poisoned my general tolerance of apologia for this type of garbage.
