    To most of us, we see “dictator” before we see “asian guy”. You’re not attacking the picture.

    Damn you just didn’t “see” the racism so therefore it cannot be problematic. But since President Xi is a “dictator” that must mean that people who are calling me out for racism must be the ones at fault because they’re protecting a big evil man. Most people “agree” with you so therefore it must be “not racist”.

    I can tell you never worked through dismantling racist imagery that wasn’t spoon fed to you by a 24/7 news entertainment cycle.
