        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.
