Please allow me to appologize for my people, they are white ignorant arrogant pricks that can't understand anything beyond thier own culture so they have to make fun of everyone else's. There is no honor in my culture so they we fun of everyone else's. We are jealous of the fact that Chinese are smart and nonfat and work hard for a living. Don't let the actions of some white jerks change your mind about all white people.

womp

A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.

You didn't get any napkins with your takeout pork fried rice? Womp womp.
