You can't rewind your mind back to the time when 9/11 happened yesterday? I can. I was there.
Americans stopped because the event became more and more distant and forgotten.
Your attitude and your parents attitude and EVERYONES attitude at that time was one of mourning and burning desire for military action. The sentiment was universal and it will become universal again should another terrorist attack occur on american soil.
The chinese sentiment is the same, it makes sense given WHEN the attacks occured. It is fresh. If you can't understand why the uyghur was booed and instead choose to compare them to white supremacists then you're a person who's not very knowledgeable and lacks perspective. The universities attitude towards this situation is correct, it is complex and it is not fully evident how to proceed.
THe chinese booed the uhyger because in a sense from their perspective the uhyger is promoting slaughter and terrorism. From the uhygers perspective they are promoting cultural freedom and autonomy and protesting detainment.
The american perspective is one of rivalry against China. China is quickly coming into power so they are a rival. It is easier to pick a one sided, stupid and bigotted viewpoint that justifies the rivalry then it is to pick the complex viewpoint where justification of the rivalry is no longer clear.
I can easily say your post promotes terrorism and domestic acts of killing and terrorist attacks. It's the same as what a lot of people are doing to me. They're saying shit like "You're basically saying mass sterilization is ok" and putting words into my mouth trying to classify which "team" I'm on. But if I did the same as them and called you a terrorist promoter that would be naive and one sided and simple minded.
My post simply advocates that people stop doing that. View the story for what it truly is, a highly highly complex story of opposing intentions where the morality is not so clear.
