    Not to split this but the real obvious parallel with Obama would be Tigger. I’m slightly surprised that didn’t come up, because it’s literally the same origin story.

      Doesn’t the initial image being paired with Tigger strike you as odd?

      Almost as if there’s two obviously racist things about the initial pairing?

        Does it strike me as odd that there’s an illustration of Pooh and Tigger together, two characters that are friends in the same fictional world?

        No, it doesn’t strike me as odd, can you explain that one to me? What’s the history of racism in the Hundred Acre Wood that predates some world leaders with possibly fragile egos? And why is all the attention always on the Pooh half and never on the Tigger half?

          The odd part is using a yellow character for the asian and tigger for the black person… for the obvious slur reason.

          None of it has to do with the history of the hundred acre woods.
