those damn Chinese citizens making racist memes of themselves!
(for those unaware, Xi Jinping as Winnie the Pooh originated from Chinese citizens making fun of their government)
a chinese person did not make that image of xi with his skin tinted yellow
Not much is known about them, no, but they were born in China. Considering China's lack of diversity, chances are is that they are ethnically Chinese.
See this is racist as fuck. You have any idea how many ethnic groups exist in China?
What next you're gonna tell me that Africa isn't diverse just because there are mostly dark skinned people there?
This is the sort of unexamined racism people are pointing out to you and your only defense is "Nuh uh, I can't be racist because I never say slurs to people's face".
You people have a childlike interpretation of the world.
1,284,446,389 Han
19,568,546 Zhuang
11,774,538 Uyghur

so much diversity!
I literally learned in middleschool that wikipedia was not an acceptable source.
It's a shame you stopped at middle school or you might have learned how to look at the cited source
it's literally the census lol
Oh by the way you're literally lying you racist piece of shit lol
lmao how am I lying?
and again, not racist. you keep saying that, but it doesn't become true.
Bro, don't you know?
Any opinion from a non @hexbear account is inherently white, cis, and racist.
Any opinion from a @hexbear account is fact and does not need be bothered with things called "sources".
You're literally pulling up 80 year old census data, while theirs is less than 10. And your quote says nothing about the size of those 36 remaining ethnic groups.
Okay so link that then? You're lazy and willfully ignorant and don't even bother to try to cite proper sources which further proves our point.
ITS IN THE WIKIPEDIA ARTICLE. oh my goodness, man, come on!
hmm not seeing it... link?
footnote
i'm clicking on your text but nothing happening. It's grey?
Here you go http://www.stats.gov.cn/english/PressRelease/202105/t20210510_1817185.html
So just link the source? How hard is that?
because wikipedia has it already formatted.
If you can't get a citation from Wikipedia, you're the one that's lazy and ignorant. They're literally all listed at the bottom of the web page
Well that's a blatant bad faith argument.
Mf, Han people makes up 92% of China's population. And almost all of them live in the eastern edge of the country. Let's not forget that they're even more resistant to immigration than Japan and South Korea. It's one of most ethnically homogenized countries in the world, quite possibly only beaten by North Korea in that aspect.
You're acting like you're a paragon of intellect, but this just proves you're anything but.
We're not talking about the original meme, we are talking about you changing the skin color of a Chinese person to be yellow. That's all you.
Just because someone makes a joke about a group they're a part of doesn't mean that you then get to take it way further and way more racial.
Of a Chinese person? You mean the Leader of China, not just a Chinese Person, a very powerful, very corrupt dictator.
If it is as racist you claim, why aren't any other Chinese people in these memes portrayed as whinnie the pooh? Why is it only Xi jinping?
Oh, that sounds like fun. What's the community called?
lmao, hexbear doesn't include edits, what a shitty site
Holy shit can't even spell the man's name right. Quick. Without looking at Wikipedia, what's Xi (Jin)ping's family name?
Ah, apologies. I have dyslexia.
