A person with Asian ancestry felt insulted by the image of the chinaman. Made a big deal about it. People of color seem to be triggered by cartoons. I don't know any white men who feel like Elmer Fudd is ridiculing them, but I have met people who take images of little black Sambo personally.

The Chinese person is holding his chopsticks wrong, otherwise nothing racist. In the original story Little Black Sambo was South Indian and that would make him Tamil. Tamils vary in color but do not have Negroid facial features. Their color is usually more aubergine than black. Once you have seen a dark-skinned Tamil you would never mistake them for _______ (Please choose your PC word of choice for those People of Color who make up 13% of the US population.).

There's a right way and a wrong way for most everything, Mr. Smartypants, and he's doing it the wrong way.

We see him at one point in time holding a bowl and chopsticks. How do you know he's not eating and running at the same time? You've been on saidit for a month; how do you like it so far?

"Otherwise", lol. If he's holding them wrong, that's not racist. That's called a mistake.

Yes, but you never know what "they" might consider racist.

Elmer Fudd isn't allowed a gun anymore.
