    “charicature” isn’t a word. You’re looking for caricature and not only can you not spell it but you clearly don’t know what it means. You posted a racist caricature, I did not. Everything else you’ve said is also false. Me asking “what do you mean” is bait and I figured you’d say dumb enough shit to embarrass yourself/.ml. congratulations, ya dun it.

      My mistake.

      You’re looking for caricature and not only can you not spell it but you clearly don’t know what it means.

      Well let’s see. Say you depict a Chinese person as

      1. A scammer

      2. Someone who gets so triggered at the mention of Taiwan that they drop everything else

      3. Someone who spells “fuck” like “fuk”

      I would say that that fits the definition pretty damn well.

      Everything else you’ve said is also false

      Ooh, neat line. Everything else you said is false too. Real time saver.

        I mean yeah if you’re making your own definitions up for words you can call anything anything lmfao. China Post has been used in massive numbers to commit scams/fraud. The joke is rooted in reality because this has been happening recently. Anyone with a brain knows all Chinese people aren’t scammers. That same brain haver would recognize the silly aspect that they spell a word like parcel/arrive correctly then misspell fuck.

          Oh, I see. Your position is that it’s not a stereotype, on the basis that Chinese people really are scammers.

              The sentence after that was the one where you maintained plausible deniability. Which is, I suppose, one other thing that’s different. You’re a bit more mask-on than the 1800’s racists were.

              The punchline is still racism though.

                Punchline isn’t racism, it’s Chinese imperialism. Is it bad to criticize imperialism if its from a place you like?

                  The punchline is that this stereotypical Chinese person is so triggered by the mention of Taiwan that they drop the attempt at scamming and respond “fuk you.” Three stereotypes in three lines of text.

                  It’s hard to imagine how you could possibly make that more racist, and no, that is not a challenge.

                  Of course not. Is it good to stereotype a race you don’t like?

                    Does China have a historically tumultuous relationship with Taiwan? Has China post been used a bunch lately to run scams? Do people when passionate write quickly enough to make spelling mistakes? I’m giving you an out on “charicature” with that last one. This is only racist if you really want it to be.
