That would be like saying depicting Netanyahu as a hook-nosed goblin is merely criticizing Israel. The reason it's seen as racist to depict Xi as a yellow bear should not be difficult to put together.

    Winne the pooh is racist now? Dude - the whole reason it became a meme is because someone made a cute comparison of how Xi looks like Pooh (which he objectively does) and the whiny little bitch threw a hissy fit and created his own personal Streisand effect. It has nothing to do with the Chinese people and everything to do with a thin-skinned dictator.

    Remove your head from your ass before you speak. You'll sound a lot smarter.

    No, Xi does not "objectively look like Winnie the Pooh." I understand that you may not have intended on being racist from the outset, but do you really need to be explained why depicting a Chinese man as a yellow cartoon is racist?

    Sure he doesn't...

    By your logic, the Simpsons are racist against Chinese because they have yellow skin. Again, you keep talking, but all that comes out is incoherent bullshit.

    None

    They really don't look alike, though. Where's the similarly, they have broad faces, or? I don't think the comparison is racist, because it doesn't make enough sense to be racist in the first place. Insisting on it this hard is just weird.

    I do not see the resemblance. Is there really no other way to make fun of Xi Jinping?

    I do not see the resemblance.

    If you took your head out of your ass like I originally suggested instead of trying to push the CCP's bullshit, you would.

    CCP

    Shouldn't you at least learn enough about the subject to know the actual name of the party you're demonizing if you're gonna insist you're so "not racist"?

    They are the Communist Party of China.

    Saying "Chinese Communist Party" is a Western way of making sure you're reminded up front that these are dirty foreigners, not to be trusted.

    I could say the same to you, for refusing to see depicting a Chinese man as a yellow cartoon as racist. The west isn't free of such a history of using racist caricatures.
