Gaza.

Or if we are just counting domestic ethnic cleansings, I'd like you to open your mind to some perspectives here you may find hard to accept.

Incoming president is talking about deporting legal and illegal immigrants from central and south America. I'd call that ethnic cleansing

We target our black population with over policing and underfunding restricting them largely to dying neighborhoods where they are then made criminal, arrested And put to slave labor. I would say this is arguably ethnic cleansing.

Native American reservations are poorly taken care of, placed on land of no value, and left to wallow. They starve and live in poverty. They have two choices. Integrate into America or suffer. Kill the Indian save the man. I'd say this is also arguably ethnic cleansing.

Now, your gonna get reeeeeal mad when you read all that and your gonna say " you fucking idiot, that's not ethnic cleansing" and I'm gonna point out the word arguably.

The point here is that you give America a biiiiiiiig pass on its many crimes. But China, a place you know nothing about outside of American sources gets the opposite of a pass. Have you considered that maybe our government, who calls China our mortal enemy, embellished some things? For our entire lives? Just something to consider.

And before you go off on "YOUR JUST EXCUSING CHINA", I am not. I am pointing out a hypocrisy. China has and is doing a lot of fucked up things. But information that is good is hard to find in the sea of state sponsored lies
