When I submitted this, I didn't think of it from a "political" perspective. To me, this issue transcends politics and reveals a part of human nature that is beyond the definition of politics. I thought it would prompt an exploratory discussion of the matter and of human nature.

Unfortunately, many events which in reality exist with or without politics (like race-based hatred) are tagged with the political label. This also makes these events harder to discuss in an objective manner because an element of partisan thinking enters the fray: "does my party support this or not?" vs "do I believe this is right or not".

EDIT: There have been many front page posts about the genocide of Uighur Muslims in China. Is that considered political as well?
