    I got several comments deleted on .ml for insulting removed ass pooh bear Xi, even called racist as if dictator is a race.

      yeah I think generally the reasoning around it being a racial insult is that winnie the pooh is yellow

          Are Asians considered to be yellow or something?

          I mean yeah that’s a pretty infamous kind of racialized portrayal that you’ll see in like old propaganda cartoons or whatever.

          While good on you, it is definitely a classic racist terminology. People who refer to Xi as Pooh should probably be aware of it.
