Just curious how many of you are cool with this deeply racist image being the header for one of your comms

Edit: SJW mods officially endorse racism. Suck off a liberal and a fascist cums

    when a majority white community mocks a chinese man by comparing his appearance to a yellow bear, it's a little weird

      The comparisons were first made in China, actually. The only reason we even know about the comparison is because he got so offended by them, and we keep doing it because he's upset by it. It's more about shape than colour, especially since Xi Jinping tends to wear trousers.

        Hello Susaga! I'm going to repost a comment I made a few hours ago, in this instance:

        "Things can undergo a transformation, just because the original usage might have been innocent. If something starts being used by white racists or western imperialists in a racist way, would ya look at that, it’s racist.

        Also, it’s covert racism. It gives people plausible deniability. Like you are doing now.

        And there are historical precedents of this kind of racism: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellow_Peril"
