In real life, they would be arresting the teacher too. Depending on the state.

Wonton fonts were invented in America, like fortune cookies. The font is a caricature of Chinese writing systems. And it's confusing for anyone that isn't American and isn't already accustomed to the stereotypes of Chinese culture in America.

When Chinese people use pinyin or write in English, they don't write like this.

I also don't think it's intended by the artist in a negative way. I'm only pointing out that there's no need for a font that's used often in a negative way. If wonton fonts were needed for the joke, then I'd let it slide. However, since it actually doesn't matter how the word China is written, it just stands out as weird.

Fuck that noise, if I see bigotry I speak out.

Thanks, didn't know what the font was called.

Found this wikipedia article about it. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wonton_font

Its the font you would see in an american midwest buy 1 scoop get the 2nd scoop free type of place. Its only used to show white people that something is vaguely "exotic". You don't see this font in China when reading pinyin.

In this comic, they should just use the same font as the speech bubble. It's not like trumps speech bubble font is drawn in golden sharpie by someone with small hands and dementia.

I like the spirit of the comic, but we probably don't need the racist font here

Edit: here is an interesting video on the topic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YP9gEeVQZ2U

Don't forgot, they murdered Manuel Esteban Paez Terán so they could build it.

Either way, it's the bad way. He's saying that a subgroup of people are superior/inferior and that's some nazi shit.

I love rage but can't stand pistol grips. I like recoil reducing buttstocks much more.
