If they told the truth, how could they make a post about being a victim of the evil "lefties?"

Banned for making bad (and kind racist) “xinnie the poo” jokes, lmfao

Question: How is a "xinnie the poo" joke racist when it refers to one individual specifically?
Has it already advanced to be used against all chinese?

[-] Neato@kbin.social 22 points 11 months ago

It isn't. It's not saying Chinese people look like Winnie the Pooh. Or even than he looks like Winnie because he's Chinese or asian. It's just a coincidental resemblance. And people wouldn't use it as a pseudo-insult if it didn't upset him so much. Which is kind of baffling why anyone would be upset at that comparison; it makes you seem lovable.
