Are you saying that the Chinese government force abortion by culture and behavior [1], not by race?

This is horrid. What's going on here is that the targeting is going in both directions. They target the race because of the culture.

In general if you live in the big cities but follow the cultural standards you will not be touched regardless of your race.

Until a few years ago the Uighurs were exempt- as minority- from the one-child policy applied to the rest of China. Would you say they were being racist against the Han then?
