I thought this was a good video. I’m not sure if it’s a genocide, and I’m sure it’s not on the same scale as Palestine, but I think what’s going on with Uyghurs and other ethnic minorities deserves serious criticism: https://youtu.be/cz9ICFDk8Js
Take this with a grain of salt as I have not done in depth research.
Thank you so much!
I didn’t realize that the Uyghur language was an official language, and I didn’t know that ethnic groups have constitutional protections in China. I think a lot of the conclusions drawn from the video ignore the context that China has legal protections for languages and ethnic groups that places like the U.S. don’t.
