      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

              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.
