FYI, that meme originated from Chinese social media. If that meme was supposed to be racist, you're essentially saying that Asian people somehow offends other Asians about their skin color being yellow, despite themselves being the same ethnicity.

You see the problem here?

You must be very slow witted to have your "I can't be racist because I'm Asian" argument dismissed so many times now and still drop it like it's a conversation stopper.

I don't care if it was created in a Wuhan lab. I care how it's deployed. And it doesn't get turned into the west's go to propaganda poster portrait without filling the role of yellow scare racism. It and your juvenile 'cee cee pee' shit has a clear purpose that you're just too much of a troll to speak plainly about.

And you must be very slow witted to get that Asians here were never insulted because of the meme (except China since they love their leader so much). The meme was never the problem.

If you actually cared about Asians, you would have researched in Asian social media or asked Asian people how they think about the picture, and how it relates to racism if any. Racism is a problem in the US yes, but I absolutely do not believe that a meme has that much to do with the core problem with it. Take out the meme, and they would come up with another excuse like COVID to legitimize it in no time. They would happily rally around Trump and spout their racism and fuck China shit because there's another enabler.
