They believe because pooh is yellow in color they it aligns with racist stereotypes about Asians. They refuse to accept the origin of the meme was xi and Obama walking in a fashion just like pooh and Tigger.
But Obama is not a tiger, is not orange. The meme has nothing to do with yellow.
You got me curious about the origins of this. I’m pretty sure this image of Pooh and Tigger was made after the photo was taken, but it does seem to illustrate the point pretty well.
The Wonderful thing about Tiggers
is Tiggers are wonderful things
tops are made out of rubber
their bottoms are made out of springs
Their bouncey, trouncey, ouncey, pouncey
fun, fun, fun, fun, fun
But the most wonderful thing about Tiggers
is I’m the only one
Tiggers are cuddily fellows
Tiggers are awfully sweet
everyone el’es is jealous
That’s why I repeat and repeat
The wonderful thing about Tiggers
Is Tiggers are marvoulous chaps
They’re loaded with vim and vigor
they love to leap in your laps
They’re jumpy, bumpy, clumpy, thumpy
fun fun fun fun fun
But the most wonderful thing about Tiggers
Is I’m the only one
I-I-I’m the only…-oof
Ouch

Tigger https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tigger
Tigger. Yeah, real subtle, I know.
I mean, the main demographic is preschoolers. Not exactly famous for their grasp of subtlety.
And the meme originates from China. Why would the Chinese be racist against themselves? It really makes zero sense.
.ml be like
If you say anything bad about China, you’re racist
If you say anything bad about Russia, you’re russophobic
If you say anything good about the US, you’re an imperialist
based
/s
And if you say anything bad about the US, you can be a mod or admin, and then learn the secret of Rule 1.
Dont forget the:
“If you are ethnic Chinese, and you say anything bad about China, you are being internalized racist, and a 汉奸 (Han-Traitor).”
🤣
Because… Rule 1! REEEEE!
Thanks for the context
