    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.

          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.

            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,

            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.

        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.

        The Simpsons writers have openly apologized for their depiction of South Asians on a number of occasions

      That part isn’t even relevant anymore, because the main reason people use it nowadays is because it was (and maybe still is?) censored in China.
