China has lashed out at Germany after its foreign minister called Xi Jinping a “dictator” and summoned Berlin’s ambassador for a dressing down, in the latest flaring of tensions with a western democratic power over how the Chinese leader is described overseas.
It’d be funny if he called him “Winnie the pooh” when he meets him to explain himself :)
The german minister of foreign affairs is the women depicted in the post.
I think they were talking about the ambassador (who may also be a woman, idk) not the foreign minister.
Very likely. However that is also a women.
Winnie so sad lmfao
Why is that? Is it because you think it’s funny that Winnie the Pooh is yellow and Xi is Chinese? Racism is so funny!!!
Nah it’s funny because they’re both fat and short dude
No that would be racist.
I’m Asian. I can bet everything I have that no single Asians would never think so.
The Internet has used it to indirectly refer to him
I did for a bit too until someone here pointed out the underlying issue. Winnie is yellow in all the images of him Disney made or not. And “yellow” people in Western racism are Asians particularly Chinese people.
It would be really fucked up for Germany to call Xi any variation of that name IMO.
You are aware that they compare him to Winnie due to this image, right?
Calling it out as racism would be an exaggeration.
No it’s definitely racist—see obama is tigger because they’re calling him a….
/s
The meme was created by Chinese bloggers, who used it to mock Xi despite heavy monitoring and censorship. If anything, perpetuating it is a show of support of Chinese dissenters.
Let’s think about as a way to be less obvious when talking about him
You are not a Chinese blogger.
At this point it’s mostly just crackers who refer to him this way.
Did you just assume my ethnicity?
Fuck you cracker
I’m not sure I qualify as a cracker, what with me not being American and having a Chinese father, but what do I know.
I assumed your nationality - you don’t live in China lol
Fair enough
Jacobs or Mcvities?
Well you clearly are an authority on racism, you’ve got years of experience.
You can’t be racist against whitey lol
You seem to be enjoying your brain worms. Rock on
It honestly depends, some VPN companies like to use it to refer him but don’t want to piss off the Ccp so they blocked all their servers.
Techbros are never racist.
Look, I’m sure not every use of the meme is racist - but all racists use the meme. Get it?
Ok
This just in: calling a black person Mickey mouse is racist! Can’t call a white person “Snoopy”, that’s racist too. Likening a Chinese person to a character from the Simpsons? Believe it or not, racist.
Whoever pointed that out is the racist.
That’s one point off your critical thinking score.
Lol, you guys crack me up.
Incorrect nice try though
