Trans People in Asia vs Europe

Text on the meme

TRANS PEOPLE IN ASIA: TRANS PEOPLE IN EUROPE:

What it means

A collage contrasts a colorful group of glamorous Disney princesses labeled “TRANS PEOPLE IN ASIA” with Shrek and other ogres and villagers labeled “TRANS PEOPLE IN EUROPE.” The joke uses “trans” as a pun on transgender people and the appearance of the characters, presenting Asia as stereotypically beautiful and Europe as stereotypically rough or monstrous. It is used as an absurd, offensive reaction meme about perceived differences between regions.
