The Parsis are really interesting to me as the endpoint of this kind of evolution. Jews are about 1.8% of the US and I think they get about 1/3 of the seats in Ivy League schools and own about 1/3 of US wealth.
But Parsis are only 0.01% (1% of 1%) of India, and yet they somehow own about 1/3 of the wealth of India. They are even more exclusive than Jews, in that you can never convert, while Jews allow conversion. And the child of a mixed marriage is never considered a Parsi, while the children of female Jews are automatically Jewish regardless of who the father is. You can go into a synagogue to visit, no problem, but you can never go into a Parsi fire temple unless you are a Parsi.
Parsis are also reputed to be very smart. The thing I can't figure out is why they never get persecuted, or how they stick together so well without persecution.
Why would Parsis get persecuted in India?
Maybe India is just a more tolerant place in general, aside from the friction between Muslims and all others.
the methods they used to squash Uighur Muslim shenanigans
An attack by knife-wielding men at a railway station in Kunming in south-west China has left at least 29 dead, the state news agency Xinhua says.
Another 130 people were wounded in what authorities said was a "premeditated, violent terrorist attack".

Somehow people in the West totally forgot that the Uighurs were stabbing random Han Chinese
omehow people in the West totally forgot that the Uighurs were stabbing random Han Chinese:
If 1% of whatever your FAVORITE group is that you're a part of committed crimes, and you didn't participate and objected to it, would you think it's reasonable to persecute you for what they did?
The whole fiasco was to increase racial tension.
But if most Muslims believe in living like the fifth column in non-muslim countries, then its reasonable to persecute them in those non-muslim majority countries to protect the integrity of those non-muslim countries.

the root cause is systematic oppression
@gabbar It's a long story, but basically the English invaded Ireland over a long period and expropriated most of the land, handing it over to English nobility. The native Irish nobility fled to the continent, and the rest of the Irish were impoverished by lack of land and had no way to escape their poverty. They were systematically excluded from all positions of power, higher education, and all of the professional occupations because they were Catholic and spoke Irish instead of English.
They were forced to be tenant farmers for the English and had only small plots of land to grow food for themselves. Then the potato blight came in the 1840's, about a million Irish starved to death while Ireland continued to export large quantities of food, particularly beef, to England. Another million emigrated to America, among them my paternal ancestors.
Even after the independence of the Republic of Ireland, the Irish in Northern Ireland were still excluded from jobs and...

Biden just said something similar to this about MAGA Republicans.
Those are FBI glowies for sure, especially with the Nazi salutes, but I do think it's true that Jews in the media will cancel you if you say that Jews in the media cancel people. Kind of proves the point when they do that.
It's interesting because the corporate media is also forbidden from saying anything bad about black people, even if true. But Kanye is black. So now what? I expect they just want to make him disappear.

What would you say? You don't have to actually believe what you say, it just has to be provoctive.
"Barefoot and pregnant is the way I like 'em."
