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.

    They are comparable in that every politician of any note is going to be caricatured, in political cartoons, the media in general, and in memes.

    I’m not interested in Xi being caricatured, but obviously people are going to do it, and not (only) because he’s not white, but because he’s a politician of note. What caricature of Xi would disinterested people consider to not be racist? Perhaps Papa Smurf (just for argument’s sake as I see no resemblance)?

    I can’t really disagree, though, that the Pooh’s yellowness is a red flag.
