So are we just going to ignore the bit about “Chinese families” then? Seems like a rather broad racial generalization, and the poster is quite clearly implying their belief in some negative stereotype.
Your response doesn’t even make sense, unless you are proposing that all “Chinese families” are actually CCP officials?
The poster is Chinese, and regularly writes about struggling with cultural expectations with regards to traditional Chinese familial norms. If I wrote that white American family cultural norms were fucked, as a partly-white American, would that make me racist? Not only that, but families are placed at the midpoint, not the fucked-up ‘end’ of the drawing.
The Chinese families bit is most likely a reference to widespread, problematic family dynamics stemming from shared social pressures in China. Just in living memory, a household might have gone through: a revolution, the cultural revolution, famine, rapid urbanization, one child policy, economic booms, economic bubbles, etc…
That will leave any family pretty fucked up, though it may not be universally bad (hence, only the middle of the horse). In the future, we’ll probably see similar echoes of trauma from the USA’s current historical flashpoint.

“<word that people have negative connotations about> is when you don’t like <thing that I kinda like>”
- manipulative people for whom facts mean even less than consent
