Famously, when you are trying to do racist asian caricatures, you make the eyes more circular.
Love y’all, but I really think the claim that this meme is racist is a huge stretch.

Humiliation and ridiculous caricature are not tactics unique to white racists. That’s more reaching.

The meme being used by and useful to anti-communists in general and anti-Xi people in particular doesn’t make it racist.
I’m not saying people should use it (mostly because I think it’s cringe), but I also don’t think it’s racist and calling people who use it racist instead of just cringe looks unserious.

Calling people cringe isn’t avoiding confrontation. It’s just a much more reasonable stance to take than “meme invented by Chinese netizens is actually racist as soon as white people touch it and is also a nefarious plot by neo-nazis to normalize racism because it’s making a non-white person look ridiculous”.
I’m not saying avoid confrontation to ease tension, I’m saying that the easier dunk is “you are posting a picture of a world leader photoshopped to look like a children’s book character and expecting it to bring about regime change”.
