This is what-about-ism and it's dishonest. The US's incarceration rate has little to do with concentration camps where people are put because they're a ethnicity the government doesn't like. They can both be problems worth pointing out.
- ixtli 7y agoI actually can't tell if you're talking about China or the US. This is currently happening on the US' southern border.
- DuskStar 7y agoPretty sure people aren't put there for their racial or religious characteristics, but their nationality and/or legal status. Yes, there's a difference.
- ixtli 7y agoWe are, at best, making the same leap of faith but in opposite directions. The people who are there observably share a nationality but they also happen to be a pretty small group of ethnicities. You’re choosing to believe that’s not ultimately why they’ve been out there and that the state is trustworthy. I’m choosing to disbelieve the state. In any case, if were gonna both accept the premise that there are concentration camps on the southern border for immigrants I’m really not that interested in splitting hairs about why.
