      Because thats what reeducation camps are for. To erase the original culture. Doesn’t work as well with skin color.

        On what basis have you concluded that? Is it not possible that the intent of the camps is to give people education so that they can become more productive members of society and thereby be less prone towards violent extremism? You’re just asserting their purpose with nothing to back it up.

        If you get a DUI and the state orders you to take an alcohol class, is that re-education meant to eradicate your culture?

        If you do a bunch of petty thefts and the state orders you to participate in a re-entry plan that includes job training, is that re-education meant to eradicate your culture?
