For perspective on that number, there are 2.2 million African Americans in prison camps.

First, that number is simply incorrect. It is about 1/4 of that number.

Second, while America has a serious prison issue (the highest incarceration rate in the world? really??), the current state of affairs of African-Americans isn't really comparable to the treatment of Uighurs, Tibetans and Falun Gong practioners.

Fighting whataboutism with whataboutism. Nice.
