Just a note, I'm editing the proof copy of the next book and reached an article written on August 30, 2018 about China's enslaving the Uighurs and I suddenly wondered if that partially explains the leftist change recently.

China knows how to control leftists, they already support communists and the state running slavery, could that be how they started calling everything "racism" when they're obviously projecting their own views on anyone who disagrees with them?  Could there be a translation of Uncle Tom which would explain why Democrats suddenly started bringing up now and hating as much as they did 150 years ago?  The best I can find on Google is that the first translation was in 1993.
