cultural genocide narrative (which was more fair but still incomplete and misleading)

I disagree that it was “more fair”. The cultural genocide narrative only makes sense to the vast majority to Westoids because Westoids tend to think of Islam as a monolith of Burkha-wearing Wahabis. Some of the “evidence” presented by Westoids of this cultural genocide was that Uyghur women were not wearing hijabs or burkhas, completely ignoring the fact that the traditional headwear for a Uyghur woman is neither of those things, but rather a colorful square hat.
