      Ah yes, Winni the Pooh a well stand-in for Asian people.

      Not at all a representation of one person, a certain Xi Jinping, who was the butt of Chinese memes comparing him to the bear, and further reinforced by his governments censorship of Winni the poor relating in the Streisand effect.

      Think before you speak Hexbear chud.

      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).

          Did the first sentence of my reply not already state that I’m Chinese? It’s literally my nick!

        It’s the hexbear brigade. Both, with some state actors sprinkled in for flavour
