    a local revealed it was from a grocery store rag, not a legit news paper

    Not really, it is a legit newspaper. A shitty one, but still a newspaper.

    if an American news paper used Chinese stereotypes or Yellow Face in an article about Japanese politicians

    This is more like making an image of some politician who “joins the fight” with Bruce Lee pose, or suit, or something.

      Bruce Lee is a specific person, not a racial stereotype.

        You can replace it with any “asian martial artist in movies”, it is probably a better comparison to “Native Americans in spaghetti western”. I would say both are not really a statement on asian/native american people in general, and it’s a clear cultural reference. Definitely different from a Yellow Face
