      Amazing how hexbear users make themselves known. Also, Chinese isn’t a race or ethnicity, its a nationality. Uyghur is a ethnicity for example.

        Lmao ten years ago you guys were saying this about islamophobia.

        Race doesn’t exist, it’s a social construct. Racism, however, definitely exists (as does sophistry).

        Ah yes, it’s really horrible when someone correctly calls out racism as being racism.

        And it’s even worse when it’s done by a hexbear user.

        Also, fuck you and everything you believe in.

          No, it’s only bad when someone calls something racism when it’s not racism. It’s a false alarm, it whitewashes actual racism. Tell me, is what the CCP is doing to the Uyghur people racist?

            The CPC isn’t genociding the Uyghurs Adrian Zenz, and you wouldn’t give a crap even if they were. This is nothing but a convenient gotcha for you, you don’t know a single Uyghur person. Don’t know their names, their struggles, even their language, much less the language of the people you claim are genociding them. Which is why you’re an intellectual hostage to the fabrications of a religious whackjob.

                Its called the CCP in English.

                It’s called the CPC in English by China, and has been the whole time. Chinese people, including their government, also publish in English.

                Folks that say CCP are demonstrating one of two things:

                1. They know better but want to play up little cold war word games in their favor.

                2. They don’t know better and got easily propagandized by the former. Most people are like this.

                https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uyghurs Starts on the 4th paragraph.

                lol. lmao.

                Follow your sources and compare them to the claims.

                Don’t need to know hebrew to know the holocaust was bad.

                Neat antisemitism. The holocaust was carried out against people who spoke a variety of languages, including Germanic and Slavic languages, Yiddish, etc. Hebrew was often limited to specific religious events. Jewish people spoke the languages of the societies they were part of.

                The corrolary, if you still wanted to make one, would be, “you don’t have to speak Polish/German/Ukrainian/Russian/some baltic languages to know the holocaust was bad”.

                Still wouldn’t fit, though, because the holocaust is extraordinarily well-evidenced, well-established fact. In contrast, the claims made about the treatment of Uyghurs are an active matter with dubious characters with clear anti-China interests making most of the claims and with very little evidence. It is germane to point out that most roads lead to a casually antisemitic anticommunist (literally part of the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation) that can’t speak or read Chinese, let alone Uyghur. That this guy is who is the trusted source for the ever-escalating but poorly-evidenced claims, including and up to genocide.
