Isn’t the author a white male?

If the author was a black woman, I think your substituted statement would be more of a commentary on how she perceives her own role in society.

There are many Black, Latino, Asian, and White writers that will comment on their own ethnic and cultural background in their writing.

Interestingly, the chairman of Xinjiang is Shohrat Zakir, an ethnic Muslim Uighur who was sent to a re-education camp back in the 1970s.

That million number gets thrown around but from what I’ve read, it’s just a guess.

For perspective, the US has about 2.3 million in “rehabilitation centers” so a million doesn’t seem outlandish I suppose.
