I wouldn't doubt it. How many Americans apologize for our system despite the long history of continuing genocide. Overthrowing governments, occupying countries, or just funding international terrorism. How about British colonizers?
I'd still say the US is better, but only just. Naomi has seen a lot of improvement with society there in her life. I don't have the video where she went into detail handy. Or know if it is even still up. But it's worth a watch if you haven't seen it. Are things great there? No. But they are much better for many of them despite their oppressive government.
Unfortunately Naomi's S.O. is uyghur. And despite all the progress minorities like her have seen in China, uyghurs haven't. And even her mild criticism of the government over it. Brought their ire.
