The ones where you called Xi a yellow animal. Also if you aren’t Asian shut the fuck up with “oh but it isnt racist”. I’m part Asian and that shit is racist.

I have to admit I probably would have read yellow in that context to mean ‘cowardly’ rather than with racist connotations but I can see how it could be taken that way.

I wasn’t saying that about the color… Asians aren’t even yellow… wtf is your stuff about saying Chinese are yellows ??? Is that an American thing ?

Asians are depicted and referred to as yellow in racist caricatures.

In OP’s defense, is it possible that they were referencing the Xi as Winnie the Pooh meme? Pooh is in fact yellow and is ostensibly an animal.

I dunno, I wasn’t there for the larger context, but it seems at least possible that this is what happened.

I will take my downvotes now.
