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.

"In their defense westerners love to share a meme about an Asian man being yellow. Maybe it’s not racist. "

In other parts of the post OP claims to be the pinnacle of political understanding, yet is ignorant on very basic racist terminology used in our political history. Iconic.
