    Sorry but goverment leaders are not a protected class, regardless of their ethnicity. The pooh meme is not about the Chinese, but specifically about Xi.

      That’s irrelevant. If a nonjewish person draws a antisemitic caricature of Netanyahu it’s still racist and offensive to all jewish people.

        Yeah, because antisemitism is a form of racism. But you could still draw a characture of him without relying on racist tropes.

        I’ve never once seen Chinese people in general compared to Winnie the Pooh. Just Xi personally. Are you trying to argue that making a characture of a person in a different ethnic group from you is automatically racist?
