I simply ask the question. Many are calling the killings in Ukraine genocide. Ok, but why no concern for the Uyghurs in China?

 via Wikipedia

The Chinese government has committed a series of ongoing human rights abuses against Uyghurs and other ethnic and religious minorities in Xinjiang that is often characterized as genocide. Since 2014, the Chinese government, under the administration of Chinese Communist Party (CCP) General Secretary Xi Jinping, has pursued policies that incarcerated more than an estimated one million Turkic Muslims in internment camps without any legal process.[3][4][5] This is the largest-scale detention of ethnic and religious minorities since World War II.[6][7] Experts estimate that, since 2017, some sixteen thousand mosques have been razed or damaged,[8] and hundreds of thousands of children have been forcibly separated from their parents and sent to boarding schools.[9][10]

Government policies have included the arbitrary detention of Uyghurs in state-sponsored internment camps,[11][12] forced labor,[13][14] suppression of Uyghur religious practices,[15] political indoctrination,[16] severe ill-treatment,[17] forced sterilization,[18] forced contraception,[19][20] and forced abortion.[21][22] Chinese government statistics reported that from 2015 to 2018, birth rates in the mostly Uyghur regions of Hotan and Kashgar fell by more than 60%.[18] In the same period, the birth rate of the whole country decreased by 9.69%.[23] Chinese authorities acknowledged that birth rates dropped by almost a third in 2018 in Xinjiang, but denied reports of forced sterilization and genocide.[24] Birth rates in Xinjiang fell a further 24% in 2019, compared to a nationwide decrease of 4.2%.[18]

This isn't an attempt at whataboutism, but in reality a question of WHY THE CONCERN in Ukraine when we have evidence/knowledge of mistreatment of people throughout the world yet show NONE OF THE CARE that is being shown in Europe/America/Western World.

I want someone to come up with an answer.

From what I'm seeing it can only be one thing.

They are "like" the concerned.

They "look" like the concerned.

They "worship" like the concerned.

In short.  Oh and you're gonna absolutely hate this but the racial aspect of this thing is obvious.

We know the Uyghurs have been suffering in China for almost a decade now.

Sanctions against China for that?  Nope.  Outpouring of sympathy?  From a few small corners (and no...I didn't want anything done on that issue either).

Which brings me back to this thing.

The war is horrendous.  The suffering obvious.  But we've seen all this before. 

And we didn't give a fuck.

We certainly didn't take steps to wreck the global economy, further destroy an already fragile supply chain, take steps to push global energy/food prices into the stratosphere and last but not least DID NOT take actions that would threaten our privileged position of having the world's fiat currency.

Are you pissed by this post?

Good.

Now get over yourself and tell me where I'm wrong.  Or you can be the pussy I suspect and report me to Google.  At this point I'm not sure I care.

But be advised.

The pain ain't here yet.  But its coming.  America, Europe and the rest of the Western world isn't ready for the continued societal stress that we're dumping on ourselves.
