While that's true, it's only because nobody is "ethnically Chinese".
“Chinese” is a nationality, not an ethnicity. Within China, there are 56+/- ethnic groups of which the Han group is the largest.
- honest_tovarich 7y agoThank you. Somehow is cool this days to write non-sense in tech forums. The Kurds are also a large ethnic group in Turkey, so is the author of Notepad++ will be adding a mention to them in the next release note? Native Americans in the US and Canada? Buryats in Russia? and the list goes on and on... but hey, I guess is too hard to do a little research before pretending to be cool.

Are about 1+ million of those groups you mentioned in concentration camps for just being from that group? No, so don't make such absurd comparisons.
