There's little point in interacting with a tankie, ignore and report, and move on.
You're free to elaborate on the humor of satarizing a Chinese man as a yellow cartoon bear. Calling me a "tankie" for thinking that maybe we shouldn't be using potentially racist caricatures doesn't make much sense to me personally.
reply to the person whoโs actually arguing with you, coward!
I do not call you a tankie for that, as I also oppose racist caricatures. Instead, I call you a tankie because you seem to be defending Xi a little too much. Have a good evening.
You were giving sympathetic advice to someone defending the racist caricature you claim to oppose, so pardon me for interpreting it that way. As for "defending Xi a little too much," what does that constitute? Saying people shouldn't use racist caricatures against him?
