    The joke was started by the Chinese on WeChat. No, it doesn’t seem racist, unless you mean it’s racist to appropriate Chinese memes?

      Can chinese people not do racist ignorant things? I’ve known many ethnic minorities to make racist charicatures of their own race, I don’t really see your point

        Well, when a Chinese person tells me it’s racist and they’re offended, I’ll stop using it. Not really interested in what some white, probably American middle-aged dude cosplaying an armchair communist for the aesthetics thinks is offensive.

          weird that you’re making so many assumptions about me to feel okay with something kinda bigoted.

          edit: I really don’t get it… he’s a yellow squinty eyed slow stupid lazy bear

            Winnie is a bear that can talk. That is in no way stupid. He’s an adorable blonde bear and everyone loves him.

            I don’t even see the insult.

            His eyes are literally two black dots. I have no idea where you get “squinty eyed” from.

            He’s yellow, you got that right. And that’s the only thing. He’s not squinty, slow, stops, or lazy. Similarly, Obama isn’t orange and bouncy.

            I don’t need to make the assumptions to feel okay with it, the assumptions are just for fun on the side. I don’t need to justify myself to you, and you failed to make me feel bad about it in the first place.

            Now I bet you need a hug, come here.
