    OP link us to the comment where you merely mentioned Tiananmen square and got banned for it

      Further down, but it seems it was more about mocking the president and saying that China and Russia were dictatorships. Maybe…

        We’ve already seen the modlog and know you were banned for racism.

            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 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.

                    That’s why the meme is racist lol

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

                    what-the-hell

                  That actually sucks and I do not agree with that.

                    Are you telling me you have never in your life heard the term “Yellow Peril”?

              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.

              Didn’t the whole Winnie the Pooh moniker originate within China itself? It was only picked up in the US like years later.

                Winnie the Pooh is a stuffed teddy bear, not a “yellow animal”

            You’re free to check the modlog, rather than lying that you were “banned for mentioning Tiananmen Square”
