‘Space Jam’: What is LeBron James Thinking?
www.politico.com
A lightweight sequel, 25 years later and in a whole new political world, tests the limits of cynicism.

Like obviously the movie is bad, but my god what a fucking reach. Real yellow peril hours.

      He wanted a scene where Bugs Bunny pulled his eyes slanty and started making Chinese noises while Porky Pig told you to "Beedley Beedley buy war bonds!"

      The movie's not even being released in China! And the guy admits that in the article. His whole premise falls apart by the third paragraph and he tells you so, then keeps on ranting about Hong Kong.

      It's the old man rants at cloud meme but about Bugs Bunny shooting hoops.

          He’s got several sponsorships in China and he’s black, so naturally he became an easy target to rail on when he spoke out during BLM because ‘human rights hippo’

            HK protestors to start being racist towards him and BLM overall

            Nah they were always fucking racists but tried to hold it in to appeal to white libs. These are people who call other Chinese people "locusts" because they were born on the other side of a bullshit border.

            Remember how PewDiePie claimed that he's not racist but just happened to yell the N word in his "heated gaming moment"? It's exactly like that. You don't get angry and yell things you've never said before. The HK color revolutionaries didn't "start" hating black people because of Le Bron.
