      I don’t actually remember how to spell it because whenever I call him Winnie the Pooh it summons the CCP bot army calling that racist and I forget. Maybe this will be the time.

          Man you guys really need to try new things. You damn well know it wasn’t because Winnie the Pooh is yellow. And you damn well know it was started in the real China anyway.

            Yeah you’re really the best person to prove that this isn’t a racist thing, considering how extremely not racist you come across when you aren’t calling him a yellow cartoon character

                What I know is that this is a bunch of bullshit made up to cover for overt racism

                  No it wasnt, it was a meme made in china by chinese people about their chinese leader, if you take offense to the meme take it up with China.

            Except it was intended to be racist because the meme was about Xi being Pooh and Obama being Tigger.

              I knew that part, but why was Tigger racist for Obama?

                Seriously? Think about what rhymes with Tigger. I’m starting to think you aren’t the best arbiter of what is or isn’t racist.

          Yeah but he’s yellow and built like a bear.

          No, I’m not a reactionary. Why do you ask?

          No, that’s just the hexbear part.

          No other instance seems to do it.

          I thought it was a cash register sound with the ping left over for how much he personally benefits from his position.

          To be fair, I spelled it Xi jingping.

          I don’t understand how we got Chichong Ping from my missspelling but here we are

            To be fair, that is how @[email protected] responded to your comment and I assumed it was the same mispelling.

            That’s my bad for not checking, sorry.
