Really weird (/s) how quickly it went from a couple of Chinese tourists asking politely not be filmed to the guy embracing the racist Winnie the Pooh stereotype and talking about how oppressed Hong Kong and Taiwan are.

It was originally Chinese people comparing Xi and Obama to the characters because of the way they walked. That’s fine. But then westerners decided to make it some protest symbol.
Would you agree that political cartoons depicting Obama with big monkey ears and lips are racist even if political cartoons caricaturize all their subjects to the extreme?
If black people had made those cartoons originally it would just be black people doing something that's ok among black people. For example it's not particularly uncommon for black people to call black shoplifters a bunch of animals or apes or whatever. They're not doing it racially they're using it because they're just calling them animals. Same shit I do about football hooligans wrecking the town.
It completely changes context when it's white people saying it.
