Uhh why are we ok with memes depicting Vietnamese people and apes as the same category?
Is this a racist sub?
No, the joke is that the Viet Cong often resorted to hunting 'bush meat' of local wildlife just to survive, including monkeys.
So the meme literally calling an ape a Viet Cong isn't registering with anyone else?
Because it's not doing that.
