...Is the modern day equivalent of a white person making squinty eyes and saying fake Chinese and broken English in a bad Chinese accent.

I will not elaborate.

      They're pushing anti-China sentiment big time on the cable news channels, as well. At least judging by the conversation with my mom, who is a boomer and has some inexplicable animosity towards China all of a sudden

        The president calling COVID the China Virus and saying China sent us a plague for an entire year while 500K+ Americans died of the virus is probably the primary cause of this acceleration. I know it’s lib to say Orange Man Bad but in that case even lib friends of mine have sometimes called it that ironically, even some of our Chinese-American friends thought it was funny. And that was just from seeing Trump say it on the news and on Twitter all the time, the news doesn’t even have to push anti-Chinese sentiment on top of that. Hearing that shit a hundred then a thousand times does harm because when people are looking for something to be angry with then “hating on China” and in turn “hating Chinese people” is an easy step to take. Similar to anti-Muslim sentiment after 9/11

            Lmao the jump to Holocaust is a strange one. But yeah I’ve definitely heard some insane takes like “it was manufactured in a lab to kill us” or “this was an experiment and the next bio-terror attack they unleash on us will be the big one” from people who are otherwise pretty level-headed, although nearly all these takes are from people with no bio or biochemistry background whatsoever lol. I guess the explanation can never just be that sometimes shit happens, especially with everyone having to pick a side or fire off a take online these days.

    I love how comparing Xi to an adorable cartoon bear is this big own.

    At least with Trump the insults were demeaning on their face.

        Dress up as a cloud to bamboozle a hive of gullible bees so I can abscond with their hunny and then Xi Jinping lectures me about primitive accumulation.

      I believe it’s because he banned Winnie the Pooh in China, so more that they know he hates the comparison not that it’s insulting in and of itself. Winnie the Pooh is an adorable character

          The only thing that was banned is using him to refer to Xi Jinping

          I did read that Christopher Robin wouldn’t have done well in China anyway and they only let 34 movies imported a year so it likely wasn’t the CCP on that one. But still banning comparisons of Xi to Winnie the Pooh on social media is fairly ridiculous in and of itself. Imagine if Trump had banned comparing him with a freakin Cheeto 😂

          My point is that people aren’t being racist with the Winnie the Pooh stuff, it’s just them mocking a leader they think is an authoritarian. Asians look like Winnie the Pooh isn’t a common trope, only applies to him really. Bless

            The ban on comparing Jinping to Winnie the Pooh is part of a blanket ban on making false statements about the Chinese government, which I believe extends to making caricatures of politicians. It wasn't just the singular thing, but it extends to every politician and government service. I think the justification is something about control of misinformation. Maybe you could argue they are a little anal about it. I dunno.

              Sheesh. Sounds like Reddit mods running an entire billion plus person country. Maybe China is more neolib than the libs even realize lol

        Had a serious fight with my mom over voting for Joe Biden where she shouted "You're being tricked by the Russians", effectively ending the conversation.

        There are periodic takeovers of subs and mass-bans by new mods in an effort to "clean up" the Reddit community. It's textbook Manufacturing Consent.
