The writer is of course correct about the current extremely questionable Indian policies segregating Moslems. But is that racism? I would rather term it Hindu religious bigotry. In the China case, although there is case to be made about racial differences between Uighars and Han Chinese, to put this into the mix citing one US delegate attending non-UN visit to China is bit much. Joining the China bashing by the western MSM. Again, the religious part just popped in there which does not the genetics case make. China has faced growing international criticism for setting up facilities that United Nations experts describe as detention centres holding more than one million ethnic Uighurs and other Muslims. The bits on JBS Haldane are fine and dandy, but the rest is thumbs down from lil' me. Shallow and misguided. Sorry.
