“Maybe we can bring all the uigurs here where they can live in peace in America.”
The Uighurs were kicked out of, I believe, Myanmar because they will NOT live peacefully with others. At least the ones in Myanmar were militant convert-or-die Islamists. It was so bad the Army went in and burned their homes and kicked them out of the country. The world was righteously up in arms, like the world always is when countries defend themselves. But it was definitely the Uighurs who caused the problem.
As for the Chinese Uighurs, they have always been portrayed as “peaceful and moderate.” But given how the media picks sides and always seems to side with evil, who knows what they were like?
China’s problem here is that China has an ongoing genocidal set of policies against anyone not Chinese. And, inside China policies that disadvantage all the Chinese who are not Hahn. Hahn is the predominant ethnic minority. And like in the US where after a generation Italians, Irish and others consider themselves to be Caucasian, the same is true in China. In China whenever the other ethnicities get the chance, they “identify” as Hahn.
“ And like in the US where after a generation Italians, Irish and others consider themselves to be Caucasian, the same is true in China. ”
How many Generations of my family must be born in America before I can feel free to identify as Native American? What the hell business is it to anyone where my ancestors came from 200 years ago?
The Uighurs live in NW China, NOT Myanmar. That was the Rohingya, or ethnic Bengalis.
