    Also, they consider anybody of Chinese ethnicity to be ‘their people’. Even if you’ve not been to China ever in your life. Fuck pooh bear

    Edit: I see the hexbear brigade has arrived

        They have it backwards, Winnie the Pooh is illegal outside of China, that’s why Xi abducted him and forces him to work at Disney Shanghai.

        Not sure where I implied in my post that it’s illegal in China. Fuck xinnie, if that makes it more understandable for you

            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.

                  What list? The state sponsors religious celebrations, but surely you think they are Potemkin festivals. This sort of cold war bullshit is beneath any decent person.

                  Why is there so much poverty in Malaysia?

                  A friend of my girlfriend’s family in Malaysia had a literal slave whose passport they confiscated. I remember being there last year and being utterly appalled. This house slave ran away a few months back.

                  Honestly, Xi would sort your mess of a country out, and no mistake.

        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.

          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
