    Things can undergo a transformation, just because the original usage might have been innocent. If something starts being used by white racists or western imperialists in a racist way, would ya look at that, it’s racist.

    Also, it’s covert racism. It gives people plausible deniability. Like you are doing now.

      You may be in different circles than me. In my circles, it is used to poke fun at Xi Jinping, not the Chinese people. It is a caricature, just as we draw caricature of our own politicians. Despite the CCP’s attempts, Westerners distinguish between race and state. Xi Jinping is not China and China is not Xi Jinping.
