I think 'racial problems' is the last thing China gets to throw stones on. When minorities in the US feel oppressed they protest, the system (slowly sometimes) improves and everything goes on. When minorities in China feel oppressed the CCP initiates a program of cultural or actual genocide until such time that the minority is dead or convinced that they are Han Chinese.

The U.S. has plenty of problems but I think moral contest with China in this area is not one of them.

Tell this to several millions of native Americans who where victim of genocide. Oh, wait, they're not around anymore to protest...

True - I am excluding historical events and looking only at current state. I'm excluding the american genocide of the natives for the same reason i'm excluding historical Chinese atrocities. While these are important events and did influence the cultures and societies of their respective countries I think it's more important to examine what the current generation of living people is actually doing to understand the structure of both systems.

[edit] - I incorrectly identified China as the bad guy in a historical event where they were the victim. My bad. Point still stands.

The Chinese were the victims in the Rape of Nanking.
