They really need to stop devaluing the meaning of the word “racism.”
Equating the life of individual privilege that the leader of an autocratic nation lives with an oppressed minority is despicable. Even from the (completely dishonest) position that leaders like Kim Jong Un are actively making their countries better, there’s no perspective that allows one to depict someone in such a position of power as suffering akin to the murdered and marginalized communities that genuine victims of racism have to suffer through.
We hate Kim Jong Un because he’s a fascist, narcissistic piece of shit, warping the narrative in his own country to justify living a life of luxury while his people suffer. Race has nothing to do with it.
The meme isn’t even playing on his ethnicity in any way. It’s mocking his weight and unearned position of power.
It’s not even inherently mocking his weight.
I think you mean “remotely”, not inherently. And yes, it is. Are you familiar with the South Park character of Cartman?
No, I don’t; no, it isn’t; yes, I am.
It could by association be mocking his weight, but that is clearly not the inherent focus of the image macro; it is comparing Dear Leader to the character with his entitled attitude exemplified in S2E4.
“Inherently” is stronger than “by association”, so what’s with the “even” qualifier before “inherently”? Using “even” makes it sound like you’re going to follow it up with a word that connotes a weak tie (like “remotely”), and say it doesn’t “even” have that weak tie. It’s like saying “I didn’t even get a 100 on that exam.” Confusing use of language.
Not really. I was attempting to specifically highlight the point about weight, e.g., “it’s not even that.”
Like valley girls’ way of using “not even”? Ok, I hadn’t considered that. I guess that works.

Yay, first time I got featured in one of these!
When you’re so far beyond sniffing your own farts you eagerly sniff others.
