    Not racist at all. It’s against one person.

    So depicting Obama as a monkey in a political cartoon wouldn’t be racist?

      That would be racist, because of the whole monkey-black-people existing racial insult. In the same way, it is not racist to depict Xi as Winnie the Pooh since there is no “President Xis look like cartoon bears” racial insult.
