4. Related: football is an industry where practically everyone in a boardroom is a white man, so the talent pool they are drawing from is not large. There's also a fast track for ex-players, sons of senior officials, people's mates etc where intelligence is not a criterion

Why won’t #Facebook just say no to Beijing ads whitewashing the #Uyghur genocide? No amount of money is worth it. And this FB response is ludicrous:

NEW: The Chinese company that will be making ceremonial uniforms for both the 2021 Tokyo Olympics and the Beijing 2022 Olympics has a franchise factory in Xinjiang, and openly advertises its use of Xinjiang cotton.

1. After several interviews in 4 months, the Home Office has informed me that my asylum application is approved. The fact that I am wanted under the National Security Law shows that I am exposed to severe political persecution and am unlikely to return to Hong Kong without risk.

@simonshen_glos This is an evil act. If you don’t respect one religion, you can simply ignore it and pay no attention to their existence. But purposely violate their own rule and code and force them to commit their sin? That is unforgiven!

In the wake of the Atlanta murders, this is not the time for unity: We must demarcate political lines to hold accountable Asians and Asian Americans who value certain lives over others—pro-police liberals and CCP apologists alike.

While we’re defending academic freedom, can we talk about @xu_xiuzhong?

Only today, a piece filled with ludicrous smears received 1.7m views on Weibo. Her name (许秀中) is trending

This is the price she’s paying for her seminal report ‘Uyghurs for Sale’

Solidarity, my friend

Today China enacted changes to Hong Kong’s electoral system which are a clear breach of the Joint Declaration – undermining the freedoms of the people of Hong Kong and breaking Beijing’s international obligations.

A good thread about the history of anti-Asian racism in pre-WW2 America. Note the pretty incredible shift from before the war to after.
