Also, they consider anybody of Chinese ethnicity to be 'their people'. Even if you've not been to China ever in your life. Fuck pooh bear

Care to explain how calling a person of Asian ancestry Pooh Bear isn't incredibly racist?
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).
