      I don’t use it at all, but I don’t particularly like the implication that it’s definitely racist in all contexts. It just feels reductive.

        No, it is simply rascist in the context we are going to be using it. If we were posting on doyen in mandarin it woudl be diffrent. This is some reddit runoff we are filtering.

          Tbf, most times I’ve seen it posted it’s by people who think they’re totally owning him and who would have done the exact same if it had been any other character. Is it racist in their understanding of China? Probably. Is it racist because Pooh is yellow? I honestly don’t think so, and it doesn’t seem to be vaguely relevant for those posters.

          Then again, I wouldn’t be surprised to see 4chan and related sites use it like that, so I’m not saying it definitely doesn’t happen.

            The image in the OP is about a banner picture on sh.itjust.works where Xi was literally colored yellow. It's not about the meme in general.
