People talking about the Uighurs in China as if the US isn& #39;t in the middle of months and months of protests about the systemic discrimination against, persecution and extrajudicial murder of a racial minority, one that we& #39;ve been carrying on for over a century.
By ALL means protest the horrible abuses of human rights in China, just don& #39;t pretend we& #39;re not also world-class abusers of human rights ourselves.
If your argument is that *our* abuses of the human rights of millions of people are less bad then *their* abuses of the human rights of millions of people then I think you have already surrendered the argument.
And if your argument is that we& #39;re allowed to vote out our leaders I point you to decades upon decades of voter suppression, gerrymandering, oh, and our white supremacist leader who this week suggested maybe we shouldn& #39;t hold the election after all.
