    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.

      And the meme originates from China. Why would the Chinese be racist against themselves? It really makes zero sense.

    You now understand correctly - you FAAFO on that instance. Best to steer clear of it.
