        Making a play on a famous leader to weed, while upholding their leadership is the same as posting a meme that plays on racial tropes

      Mocking the apperance of one of the most powerful people on the planet isn’t racist, come on now.

        The first appearance of the meme is one with Barack Obama. Can you please remind us to what character he was compared to, that has a phonetically similar name to a racial slur? Do you deny that the yellow skin color is not a sinophobic trope?

        Not sure what you see when the Winnie xi meme gets postet, but I hardly ever see substantiative critique of power, but a endless redditism of how the Chinese are inferior and OP usually staying silent on the sinophobia in the comment section.

        It’s a sinophobic dogwhistle.
