Nevermind the US slave labor codified in our constitution, concentration camps for brown people, including babies and children, and (illegal) assassination of a foreign diplomat.
It was an AP article. Said there wasn’t a literal genocide or organ harvesting, but still said it was a cultural genocide. Also technically the genocide and slavery are two different talking points, which is why the slavery schtick been picking up steam while the genocide talk has been dying down.
Thank you!
