Show me the racism, because I’m not seeing it. Because Pooh is yellow? I think that’s a stretch. The guy has a passing resemblance to Pooh I think is the long and short of it, no more racist than Cheeto/Trump. Yes libs are annoying and often racist, but AFAIK calling this racist unfortunately has no ground to stand on.

    never underestimate the racism. like yeah it can look a bit far fetched and obtuse when you're not fully exposed to the racist milieu that spawns it, but you'd better believe people still have 19th century anti-chinese prejudice in the west today

      For real

      Hell, pretty much every time China gets mentioned in some economic or news journal, you see the fuckin' artist channeling "The Inscrutable Celestial" or "The Perfidious Yellow Claw of The Orient"

      I have no doubt that this remains hegemonic.
