CNN has added another entry to the ever-expanding list of things now deemed to be racist, publishing an article asserting that Chinese-style fonts are offensive because they perpetuate “crude” stereotypes.
Author Anne Quito claimed that “chop suey fonts to communicate “Asianness” in food packaging, posters and ad campaigns” are further evidence of “discrimination and systemic racism.”
Yes, really.
She made this ludicrous assertion despite admitting that the fonts were immediately adopted by Chinese immigrants who came to the United States to set up businesses.
Apparently, the hundreds of thousands of Chinese business owners across the western world don’t appear to believe the font is racist since they choose to proudly display variations of it on the front of their shops and restaurants.
A scholar of Chinese typography also largely dismissed the claims by pointing out that he didn’t find the fonts offensive and that it was a gross oversimplification to label them racist.
Another respondent feared he could be called racist for using Roman fonts.
Numerous other Asian respondents said they were not offended by the font.
Over the last couple of months, the establishment media has tried to contrive a fake narrative that “white supremacy” is responsible for a wave of hate crimes against Asian-Americans.
In reality, as we have documented, white people are underrepresented in committing violent crimes against Asians, with almost all of the recent high profile examples of hate crimes targeting Asians being carried out by black men.
Start laughing out loud at these idiots. Ridicule the stew out of the woke. They won’t know how to handle it.
Or using that sing-song style of writing like on that sign. What’s next? Yiddish/Hebrew?
Next thing you know, they'll say Chickety China the Chinese chicken is racist.
Chinese Checkers is racist...........................
Is there anything that normal people do that isn’t racist?
Next thing you know, they’ll say Chickety China the Chinese chicken is racist.

Not according to the racists....................
OLD NEWS
This “story”/”outrage” makes the rounds every few years
Just because some opinionated liberal says it’s so, does not make it so. It’s just the opinion of a person who will whine if they don’t get their way.
Its not really their opinion. They know they're full of Chinese dung just as well as we do.
They just like to see us dance. And they laaauuugh.
Shove it up your collectivist and very much used Obamahole, CNN.
Be sure not to aggravate your Bidenroids.
‘Chinese’ Checkers is actually GERMAN.................
When I was a kid, those finger traps were called “Mexican Handcuffs”!.......................
BIG ANNOUNCEMENT:
“Chop Suey” is not Chinese. It’s American, it’s what Americans think Chinese eat. Chinese restaurants in America obliged and starting calling everything chop suey. It’s basically just fried rice or noodles with leftovers thrown on top.
I think it’s more subtle and insidious than that.
They do this stupid stuff and make outlandish claims for the same reasons that gang-bangers commit crimes get arrested. It raises their ‘street cred’ amongst their ‘homeys’.
For these idiots like Quito, it makes them look more ‘intellectual’ and more ‘woke’ so therefore it raises their esteem amongst their peers..................
Hispanics to a degree as well.
Not sure about our other minority group. They seem geared and raised to find fault and discrimination in everything they see in life.
Oh, all of a sudden the little liar speaks English.
Besides, everybody knows it goes like this...
Me Chinese, me eat grass, me stick finger....
I call shenanigans on this entire article. Little white Canadian children would'nt deny a glue stick to a Chinese boy. Canadian kids are terrified of gung fu.
