Many people like pandas. Their main reason is they think they are cute. Another positive is that they consider it extremely diverse as it is black, white and Asian. For the same reason some will hate pandas. It becomes a matter of perspective. I strongly associate pandas with two things. The first is the panda that we always saw on Pan Am literature inside a plane in the 70s. The second is a song that became popular in 2016 where all students at our school were into and when we scheduled a field trip to the Bronx Zoo most of them expressed they would take a selfie with the pandas. There were no pandas at the zoo that day.
