What racism? You have yet to explain what’s racist about this picture. I am willing to accept that I’m wrong and I’m just not seeing it from the right perspective, but you have to be willing to explain why rather than just condemn.
Alright, I can see that. Not deliberate, as they also tinted his suit red to heighten the comparison to Winnie the Pooh, who also has a yellow face, but I can see your perspective now you’ve actually given it. Deeply racist is absolutely a stretch, though, but “kinda racist” is absolutely correct.
It’s not obvious! You posted a picture of a dictator with accidental racist undertones, called it deeply racist, and condemned anyone who didn’t agree with your perspective as racist, despite not actually giving your perspective! To most of us, we see “dictator” before we see “asian guy”. You’re not attacking the picture, you’re attacking the people on the same server as the picture. You being so quick to condemn makes it look like you’re defending a dictator more than amending injustice, and being so hesitant to explain your reasoning makes you look like a troll more than an activist.
You’re a terrible representative of your own argument.
I condemn you, actually. Yes, the picture is poorly thought out and needs revision, even though it was designed for reasons other than racism. That’s what you should have said. But you didn’t want to fix the picture, you wanted to condemn everyone on this site for not condemning the picture.
What a contemptible piece of shit instance we got federated with this time. Fuck this place. Look at this asshole. Acting all fucking wounded because they weren’t coddled during the agonizingly slow process of them finally admitting that putting a world leader representing over a billion people in yellow face MIGHT be SLIGHTLY racist ON ACCIDENT. As if the feelings of the person committing the offense are the most important consideration in explaining their offense to them. The fucking entitlement.
I don’t buy your bullshit. It’s not only racist, it’s deliberately racist and not only that but deep down you fucking know it as well. Just ask yourself: what’s the fucking point of the caricature in the first place? To be insulting, right? It’s an otherwise beloved childhood character though, isn’t it? So why has the west latched onto it so strongly? To mock his appearance, right? It’s a yellow fucking cartoon bear. Why are you acting coy about it? It’s not about his weight. It’s not that he has the facial features of a bear. No one makes pictures depicting him as Yogi or Baloo. It’s his race.
They jumped in to defend themselves. That’s what happens when you attack them. If you attack the thing and not the people, they don’t get so defensive.
You say this, and yet you are still ignoring the other racist parts in this image. almost like you don’t care about the racism, and only picked one aspect about the image that was racist for the sake of having the moral high ground.
That’s a reach lolol. Did Pooh Bear put you up to this? Promise a bump on your social credit score if you’d go online and say anyone that calls Xi Winnie the Pooh is racist?
It’s not yellow because he’s Asian you raging edgelord, it’s cause he’s Pooh Bear, and Winnie the Pooh is yellow.
Go back to licking your authoritarian, human rights abusing quasi-dictator’s boots ya fop.

You don’t see why tinting an Asian person’s skin yellow is racist? Would you say the same thing about this?

Oh well as long as you’re absolutely sure the obvious racism wasn’t deliberate it’s okay

But now that I’ve given you my perspective, you unequivocally condemn this racism, yes?

Well ideally, everyone here would agree this is problematic. But instead a whole bunch of people jumped in to defend it to the death

We accept that this image can be interpreted as racist, if one is unaware of the origin and original meaning of said image.
Gotcha. Another for pro-racism. Man, y’all love this stuff over here
See, this is why I condemn you.
Fascist troll pretending to be a leftist.
We don’t love racism, we just hate you :) go have a nice life literally anywhere else.
Yall love strawmen

Winni the Pooh is yellow…
And Xi Jinping, a Chinese man, is not. Perhaps this will help you understand the issue
No? Youre just concern trolling? You knew this was never about racism?
Are you gonna respond to anyone pointing out the obvious reason hes depicted as winnie the pooh? And why no other asian person is?
