Don't bring drugs into Asia and expect to have a good time. This is one area that being ignorant of history can get one executed.

Western citizens have to recognize the hypocrisy of these stands eventually, don't they?

Sounds like what the US & Canada did to Meng Wanzhou.

It doesn't make logical sense.

I suspect this misuse is due to the early 12th-16th century English population's ignorance of the complexity of global spice markets and black pepper being one of the first popularized spices once trade routes expanded.

Peppery would make much more sense.

I suspect it's being pointed out that racial discrimination doesn't just start at age 30 when applying for a job at Google, it impacts many key points of development and opportunity along the way. Perhaps true support of black founders takes this truth into consideration, especially if a business idea is solid.

>OK. Well, I've been using it wrong then :)

You are actually correct, it's the English that use the word wrong.

Spicey should be a measure of the variety of spices used... A very small % of people from spice rich countries would consider pepper a primary or default "spice".

>China has nation-wide policoes about fertility (the one child policy and its regional variations) so it's not clear if the Uighurs are especially singled out or simply punished for not respecting a national law.

The interesting fact is, the one child policy, in all its year of existence, never applied to Uighars and non-Han muslims.

Makes me think these camps are precisely what they say they are, "to nonviolently deal with extremists and separatists".

The alternative would be an Afghanistan-like war to rid certain areas of extremist groups which would probably result in major collateral damage and more innocent casualties.

>We need more love in the world, we need to give people the space to be ignorant or wrong without being evil so we can welcome them out of the darkness instead of forcing them into it.

I agree with this sentiment but history shows how quickly this can spiral out of control. If these symbols (stars and bars and all its variations) were not directly tied to domestic terrorism and other various forms of violence, it would be easier to create room for learning.

Unless a balance is struck, we leave historically disenfranchised minorities to be potential future victims of the majority's ignorance.

New fingerprinting technique or clipboard data used to expand a user's shadow profile?

>doesn't validate this system one bit. .

India springs to mind as a good 1:1 comparison candidate and it seems to be doing much worse than China in most economic metrics.

Uighurs weren't just randomly targeted, separatists carried out dozens, if not more, heinous terrorist acts that killed and injured thousands of innocent people. HK citizens generally don't have a history of such activities.
