  • I don't suppose you'd see how you're sampling from a very biased set?

    There's no arguing that, at some point, Xinjiang's per-capita prison rate was roughly on par with that of Black Americans. I'm not going to deny that. It's a clear indicator of racial prejudice and discrimination. Are they still alive? Yes. Do they still have a unique and distinctly non-Han culture? Yes. Is that culture celebrated in the most viewed televised event in the world? Also, yes.

    I'm not going to pretend that there's no racism in China, but let's not make mountains out of molehills when there's a real, tangible, documented genocide going on that the West completely ignores when Israel uses the same justification of "terrorism."

  • This time on shit Israel says...

    "Hamas has tentacles all over the UN"

    "Hamas is puppeteering world leaders to support terrorism"

    "Hamas is using it's control of the financial and judicial systems to avoid persecution"

    "Hamas controls the media that's demonizing Israel"

  • Chunwan is the most watched television show in the world, garnering more than a billion viewers each year. It's the pride and joy of China's flagship CCTV television network and highlights the best of China to ring in the new year.

  • The Wahabbi interpretation of Sharia law in Saudi Arabia maintains that acts of homosexuality should be disciplined in the same way as adultery - with death by stoning. Homosexuality or nonconformant gender expression can also be punished by corporal punishment, flogging, imprisonment or forced ‘conversion’ therapy. 

    This isn't unusual in the Middle East. There's a number of reasons for this (mostly based on colonialism and imperialism by more powerful players), but this is unfortunately the status quo.
