    I don’t buy the racist connection. This whole thing started on Chinese social media. Westerners didn’t start saying it until the CCP got butthurt and banned the character entirely.

      I’ve always thought it meant xi jinping. One person. Is it because he happens to be Chinese that it becomes racist?

          I feel like the tankies are being racist here. If I want to paint xi jinping, reaching for the yellow pigment doesn’t make me racist. Likewise, matching Pooh to Jinpings individual’s characteristics is the same concept.

      It’s just being offended for the Chinese people, with no regard to what the Chinese people actually think. Typical.
