      My God, if only we had taken our mockery of Comrade Xi from someone unproblematic, like Chinese nationals!

        I read 20 mins ago someone from hexbear complaining that calling Xi Winnie is racist because Winnie is yellow and Xi Chinese. Meanwhile, the meme was born in china, from chinese people. The west just adopted the icon that China’s govenment banned in china, after its own citizens popularized it.

        SOOOoo it must be racist yeah /s
