They always do. They'll claim it's not racist though and then the next breath say something about Winnie the Pooh.

...You mean the meme that Chinese people were outlawed from doing because it's not offensive to Chinese, it's offensive to the leader?

That'd be like saying caricatures of an American President (of which there are hundreds of) are racist. Even when most of them were made by Americans.

As a result of it being outlawed and how prolific it became, white supremacists started using it to disparage Chinese people at large.
