      Referring to him as “Winnie the Pooh” has never had anything to do with race, hence why no one uses it to refer to any other Chinese person.

      Liberals accidentally outing themselves as racist is always ridiculous to me. People think XI JINGPANG looks like Winnie the Pooh. Your implication that EVERY Chinese person does, and the underlying implication you’ve made that ALL Chinese people look the same is hilariously offensive. You should maybe do some self reflection here mate.

        I just compared, I don’t see it. Do you have a good example?

          What do you want me to show you exactly? You’re the one implying that all Chinese people look enough like Winnie the Pooh that to depict xi jingpang as such is racist. You want me to… give you an example of your point?

            I saw that after asking. So why would putting a character in a group of depictions fit this piece of art? It could make sense if Trump was a Cheeto, etc, but here it seems like an attempt to depict Xi as more cartoonish or outlandish than these western leaders. Weird. Almost like there’s still a goal to depict him as less human. Huh.
