You could also just use the standard right wing rhetoric against rwingers
"well the Uyghurs simply conquered and enslaved the Indo-Europeans that existed there before, so China isn't doing anything wrong actually"
Just screaming "AUTOCTHONOUS!!" at every person I see on the street.
fuck me, my subconscious definitely picked up on some kind of extra racial weirdness when i was going through all this shit arguing with people on r*ddit, but yeah it didnt quite click until you mentioned it that this is exactly what it was
and yeah im just realising as well that there was lots of talk about religious persecution etc, but very little talk about islam - rarely called "islamophobia", and i have a strong feeling that if you looked at all the articles with this in mind youd find that as much as they focused on religious buildings that they really downplayed "mosques" in favour of other terms or generic "houses of worship" etc (this last bit might actually be legit though, it does seem from my very limited knowledge that their version of islam is a bit different in its religious buildings from "mainstream" islam)
this shit probably should have been immediately obvious but there was so much other bullshit to wade through that i guess i didnt really notice
if they focused on islamophobia, Modi would come out in favor of it immediately
They are very different from Hui, but it is still called a mosque.
Not sure if it's a psyop, or just projection from westerners who desperately want the people they claim to care about to look like them skewing the search results. I haven't seen anything like this myself though; how widespread is this?
This as unconscious projection rather than conscious forced projection. I think I like this explanation more because it is the incompetence answer to this but I don't think I can rule out :cia: just yet.
Yes. This NPR article is from 2017:

Holy shit, it all makes sense now. They think uyghurs are white. That's why they care.
wtf
mayos do this all the time, they claim that the existence of one person having pale eyes means they all look like that (but they'll never use the same logic on themselves with brown eyes, even though brown eyes came from the Middle East)
