    By this logic the genocide and assimilation of the native American population is entirely valid.

    I wouldn’t say native Americans have done as well as Uyghur, or received as much investment and job creation. I would say that giving them all US land ownership is not an option to undo injustice.

      First of all, I think you are ignoring the actual abuse of human rights that occurred. Secondly, you haven’t established that the Uyghur have received any actual benefit, you’ve just given statistics about the region, which they are no longer the majority ethnic group. I’ve already established that Han immigrants are the main benefactors of the government’s investment in the region. Lastly utilizing job creation is not a metric for determining human rights abuse. Technically more natives have “employment” as we typically define it today, because there weren’t jobs before. That doesn’t mean the abuse is valid.

      And no one made that claim… I was using it as an example of how illogical your claim was.
