    Those articles are archaic. Very strange to assume that everyone will have seen those and then use them as a vehicle of attack.

      So every China hater has watched Fu Manchu to preach racist stereotypes about Chinese and Asians? Because most of the racist jokes related to Chinese people in society are sourced from there.

          It came out in the early 20th century and is well known to those concerned. Your claim above that everyone needs to know the exact source of a particular racist narrative (Asiatic hordes here, for example) to perpetuate it in society is a falsehood. Society can carry these diseased narratives amongst themselves over years, decades and centuries.
