The difference is the long racist history of refering to Asian people as yellow skinned, phrases like “yellow peril” describing fears of Asian immigrants, so it’s not a stretch to see how depicting a Chinese man with cartoonishly yellow skin is racist as fuck.
It would be like depicting a black politician as a monkey, it’s difficult to defend something like that as just a joke against a specific person when there’s such a racist connotation/history there.
My sister got her hands on something similar (I think it was chips ahoy with sour patch kids? The details are unimportant). They were completely inedible, just disgusting trash. I couldn’t even bring myself to eat a whole one while I was stoned and had a bad case of the munchies.
I’m convinced no one actually likes these and they’re made solely to make one-off sales to people who just have to see how bad they are.
Edit: there’s absolutely zero chance she’s tried one of these abominations
