            talking about race doesn’t make someone a racist. comparing chinese people to yellow-skinned cartoon animals does.

            Dutch guy getting beat up after doing blackface: “Waah! It’s a important cultural practice! You don’t understand, it has nothing to do with race, Dutch people just have folklore stories about dark skinned fantasy creatures coming and stealing our stuff! You’re the ones making it about race!”

              Did you really waste all that time writing up some completely unrelated scenario in an attempt to make your little tantrum less pathetic?

              Keep liking those authoritarian boots, buddy. I’m sure Pooh will thank you for it.

                Buddy you’re the one comparing my personal friend Xi Jinping to a yellow bear, how do you not see how close to blackface that is point-and-laugh-1point-and-laugh-2

                You’re deeply unserious if you’re actually bringing up Jon Stewart and John Oliver.

                Since you’re such a big fan, maybe you can tell me when Stewart is gonna apologize for that horrible transphobic joke he did about 20 years ago?

          1. And are you Chinese?

          2. I’m happy you’ve got a Chinese friend that tells you it’s okay to be racist.

          3. The fact that you’re unwilling to acknowledge the fact that this redditor shibboleth got popular amongst a bunch of white people has nothing to do with them finding yet another socially acceptable way to be racist is telling a lot we already knew about you.

          4. If a reactionary org of black people (I dunno of one but I’m sure there’s some church or something) had satirically depicted Obama as curious George, do you think you could get away with calling him a monkey without being (rightfully) called a racist?

          Black people started using the n word among themselves casually, doesn’t mean other people can just copy it and shield themselves from accusations of racism by saying Black people were doing it first.

            so comparing xi to pooh is the same as calling a black person the n word? i wonder if chinese or asian people hold the same opinion

              Now you’re just being obtuse. It’s really sad you think what you’re doing isn’t obvious. For the onlookers: This is what happens when you don’t get mental and social stimulus.

                Its obvious what you are doing too. For the onlookers: This is what happens to your brain on tankie propaganda.

                  Yeah I should hope what I’m doing is obvious, I’m being honest and upfront about it. You should try it some time.
                  Hey please point out the propaganda I’ve been hit by. Educate me please, I love to be wrong. Cite your sources.
