Xinjiang is incredible to visit, the Uyghur language is beautiful and the culture is robust and everywhere, I loved my trip there. My uncle who went there in the 90s went with me this time and said it felt like Uyghur culture was much more realized, much less ultra conservative fundamentalists everywhere, safer in general. People forget that Islamist (referring to Salafist/Wahhabi and other ultra-conservative Islamic political fundamentalist groups) groups destroy culture and tradition as an aspect of their ideology.

People forget that the Party doesn't treat Uyghurs any different from the rest, they don't treat them different because they're Uyghurs, but because some of them are actively against the party principle that must be upheld. It is not a genocide, it is a fight against dogmatism and reactionary elements

They do treat minorities differently, but it's preferential (e.g. I've heard that non-Han Chinese people may have higher priority for university admission)

Yeesh. I’m willing to listen lol.

I think there’s a lot of “white people” in America or the EU that don’t feel mainstream media should be consumed in whole or taken at face value. I’d say the same for anywhere is true.

I just wish I could see first hand what is happening in China sometimes and make my own bias. I know that if I see something on the news in the US I can usually guess if it’s exaggerated or not. For example racist cops right

I'm reasonable sure that they don't actually hate all white people. It's a generalization because the vast majority of colonizers have historically been light-skinned, and that still applies today

I do not care about the single whitey being okay.

Theyll claim to not be racist then immediately say that these envoys dont count because muslims in these countries are all paid off or brainwashed.
