Among the usual claims about a trillion Uyghurs being murdered in concentration camps and the women being sterilized, the “professor” also claimed that Uyghurs weren’t recognized as one of China’s 55 ethnic minorities (they are) and that Islam is banned in China (it’s not) They didn’t provide any sources too lmao

Yes, they’re a white liberal

No, there wasn’t a single mention of Palestine

How do you become a Professor when you can’t even be bothered to google what the fuck you’re talking about? Does saying “China bad” give you a PhD now? The level of academic dishonesty is staggering, aren’t universities supposed to take this stuff seriously? Surely there must be a way to report professors spreading racist conspiracy theories as fact. It’s not just a political thing, the intellectual laziness is so extreme they cannot even get the most basic background facts right. At this point I would be surprised if they know which continent China is in.

But hey, at least they got to trivialize actual genocides by putting them next to the Uyghur “genocide”

If I pulled any of this shit in a paper - no sources, lies debunked in two seconds - I would at a minimum instantly fail the class and probably face a serious risk of being suspended and/or expelled for academic fraud.

    Nothing better than being told China is murdering millions of Muslims in the Lockheed Martin - Raytheon Martin - Northrop Grumman “Kill the Browns” Lecture Hall

    But back to your example, this would be like the prof saying that recycling is banned in China. It’s not just an odious display of horrific politics, it’s an obvious lie that even NATOpedia debunks.

    After the Revolution these people should be awarded an anti-PhD that bars them from ever coming within a 10 mile radius of any educational institution.

      Red Guard trials which end in them being sentenced to a degree in sociology with free tuition and a generous student stipend so they can focus on their studies.
