It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Are you kidding right now or seriously asking how portraying an Asian person as yellow is racist?
I never made that connection, thought it was a shape thing (oh and the red shirt). But I never saw asian people as yellow, and don't understand that remark. An asian friend of mine once jokingly referred to herself as a banana, but then had to explain the joke to me.
Whether you personally are caught up or not it still has a deep history in anti-asian racism. Depictions of asians as yellow is a classic hallmark of anti-asian racism.
Internalized racism is a thing, just so you know.
Racism is racism. If you think that certain nation is of a certain kind because of their genetics, it's just racism, whether it applies to yourself or not.
But to clarify, she was only making a joke, it wasn't racist.
