    Do you know the context behind Xinjiang or the affirmative action that China takes on its minority groups? Have you ever been to Xinjiang?

      “affirmative action that China takes on its minority groups” good god, have the balls to call it what it is dude. China is doing a genocide. If that doesn’t bother you, that’s your deal, but at least own up to what you are defending

        Do you even know what affirmative action is?

        Minority groups in China get substantially more points on standardized tests that are the sole factor used in college admissions. They get egregiously advantageous business loans. They get proportional representation in government. They are (were?) exempt from family planning policy. They get dumped billions of dollars in infrastructure.

        And… Who’s died for it? Oh. Right.
