So is the Uighur genocide, lets be angry about it all.

The difference is, the Uighurs only crime is being ethnic, there are other things at play with incarceration numbers.

All races are incarcerated, only Uighurs are rounded up and sent to their own special work camps with no crime needed.

You're trying to compare prison with concentration camps, that's FUD.

I agree, but we can do a lot more about it in the places we have political authority, so long as we don't dismiss the very real threat to millions of US minorities of torture, forced sterilization, and a lifetime of stigmatization as "complete FUD".

People who don't compare US prisons (where overcrowding, rape, physical and psychological abuse, poor medical care, lack of hygiene supplies, and torture are completely routine) to concentration camps are ignorant of the realities of the situation.

We don’t care about it anywhere when we pay and commit it. In fact we give the leaders who commit multiple genocides Nobel Peace Prizes.
