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 1 year 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.
