I can’t even begin to imagine what’s going on here, but I know there were some declassified recordings and we know that:
racism
Nixon compared Indian women to Black women and said, “I mean, people say, what about the Black Africans? Well, you can see something, the vitality there, I mean they have a little animallike charm, but God, those Indians, ack, pathetic. Uch.”
.
Also I’m pretty sure at some point Nixon and Kissinger (of course) tried to get China to pressure India over the Indo-Pakistan war.
That still makes no sense
it’s a yellow guy (not being racist that cartoon is literally yellow) wearing a dark skinned mask
Angry indian dude pretending to be a black dude who’s not angry, to Nixon, while deng? looks down on them from heaven.
I don’t know what it means either
Okay, I think I got it. It’s about a very specific guy: a Chinese expat living in France (beret(?), bottle of wine(?)) who is very angry about China opening itself to western markets (Nixon, Deng) and is posting about it by pretending to be an African man who smugly denies modern China’s role in assisting with the economic development of some African nations.
I… think…?
is that fuckin Nixon?
good lord
Imagine being Ben Garrison right now. Imagine how horrifying it must be to think someone like this is out there.
Guys there’s literally PragerU videos on Weibo. Just because he’s Chinese doesn’t mean he’s a comrade. This is literally just a 4Chan meme from some self-hating Chinese guy living in England.
counterpoint: watching new scientific research that pushes the frontiers of philosophy, anthropology, and sociology emerge in the comment section is really funny
This meme is truly one of the greatest conundrums of the 21st century, and we may never truly know what was meant by it.
