    Are you saying it was gross because the situation of Uyghurs in China is not as bad as the situation of indigenous people in the U.S.? The reason I chose to make the comparison I did is that the author of the video makes the same comparison, and it seemed like an example that people might have prior knowledge of or be able to relate to.

    I apologize that I used things that have happened to indigenous Americans in the past to further a point when I did not fully understand their situation.

    I would like to know what you felt was wrong about the comparison

        Fair point. Do you know if Uyghurs in the reeducation camps are allowed to speak their native language?

          The last of these camps literally teached that language along with proper grammar, mandarin, proper islam teached by imams, they were trade schools and the “inmates” went home for ther weekends. I use past tense, because those “camps” were closed in 2019. So the kernel of truth the entire hoax has been created from did not exist for over half a decade.

            Interesting. I’m inclined to believe you but I’m wondering if you have sources on hand for those claims.
