I did for a bit too until someone here pointed out the underlying issue. Winnie is yellow in all the images of him Disney made or not. And "yellow" people in Western racism are Asians particularly Chinese people.
It would be really fucked up for Germany to call Xi any variation of that name IMO.
The meme was created by Chinese bloggers, who used it to mock Xi despite heavy monitoring and censorship. If anything, perpetuating it is a show of support of Chinese dissenters.
You are not a Chinese blogger.
At this point it's mostly just crackers who refer to him this way.
It honestly depends, some VPN companies like to use it to refer him but don't want to piss off the Ccp so they blocked all their servers.
Techbros are never racist.
Look, I'm sure not every use of the meme is racist - but all racists use the meme. Get it?
Ok
