op is here complaining that canon Yao doesn't look like a caricature of Chinese people and posted this in the character tag. an Asian man didn't draw other Asians with exaggerated slitty-eyed Western caricatures of East Asians...that Japanese people are also subject to...all of which was deeply connected to Yellow Peril racism that harmed millions of people...
(CW for racist depictions in historical cartoons/propaganda).
surprisingly chinese people actually have varied eye shapes, because yes we don't all look alike, it is a huge country/nationality and we are also an ethnic group made up of 1 billion+ people. people are fine with europeans having diverse appearances but yet are so wedded to east asians being a monolithic horde.

i'm tired of how often people lack even basic respect for us as human beings, when it comes to throwing around extremely well-known racist East Asian stereotypes in the hetalia fandom, whether in image posts or fanart and fanfiction. you're happy to consume and enjoy East Asian content like anime/manga, but you are here entertaining racist stereotypes that hurt us as real people.
If you know how to access the Internet and all its freely available resources, you are certainly intelligent and privileged enough to know better than to post things like this in the public tag.
