Wow, look at this racism denial from the same person who was criticizing Tankies for genocide denial.
"The meme was started by a Chinese person, therefore it can't be racist" is just a new veneer on "black rappers use the n-word in music, therefore it's not racist if I use it."
except winnie the pooh isn't already a slur, and it kinda does matter the history of the usage of a term if you're trying to determine the intent and usage of it.
literally nobody used the winnie the pooh insult against him because of his race, it was always because he literally looks like the character, and then threw a fit and banned all mention or image of a worldwide-known and beloved fictional character. because he's an unstable tyrant.
