The impoverished country run by Islamic theocrats who are one of the world\u2019s largest funders of terrorism made the change the same week its state-controlled press slung bad-faith critiques at America, in a display of the complete unseriousness of those who claim Americans are \u201coppressed.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Leading up to the FIFA World Cup match between the U.S. and Iran last week, an Iranian reporter grilled an American soccer player on so-called discrimination in the United States. In the press conference, Press TV\u2019s Milad Javanmardi <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsweek.com\/iranian-journalist-asks-black-soccer-player-if-hes-ok-represent-us-1762900\">zeroed<\/a> in on 23-year-old team captain Tyler Adams, asking if he was okay with playing for \u201ca country that has so much discrimination against black people in its own borders.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Adams, who is black, calmly answered the reporter\u2019s question by saying, \u201cYou know, there\u2019s discrimination everywhere you go. One thing that I\u2019ve learned, especially from living abroad in the past few years \u2026 is that in the U.S., we\u2019re continuing to make progress every single day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This question Javanmardi asked is eyebrow-raising, especially considering Iran\u2019s horrific treatment of its own people. More than 15,000 protesters are being held in Iranian prisons and hundreds are dead after Ayatollah Khomeini cracked down on the demonstrations.<\/p>\n<p>The protests, which started after 22-year-old Mahsa Amini died in police custody in Iran after being brutally arrested for wearing an \u201cimproper\u201d hijab, have been going on for more than 70 days. The government has even threatened to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mirror.co.uk\/news\/world-news\/iran-execute-15000-jailed-anti-28495185\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">execute<\/a> the protesters, many of whom are women and teenagers.<\/p>\n<p>More than 227 members of the Iranian Parliament <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsweek.com\/iran-protesters-refuse-back-down-15000-face-execution-1758578\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">signed a letter<\/a> arguing those in prison should face the death penalty for defying the government. Only 63 members abstained from signing it.<\/p>\n<p>The inhumane treatment happening in Iran doubtlessly deserves international condemnation. But it also highlights the unseriousness of similar \u201cinternational criticism\u201d of so-called \u201cdiscrimination\u201d in the United States. Although America offers more opportunities to all races than arguably anywhere else in the world, her enemies and useless corporate press have fanned flames of racial tension to the point that America\u2019s soccer team was grilled by foreign reporters from a country that kills its women for failing to wear hijabs.<\/p>\n<p>There is no equivalence between the United States and Iran. It\u2019s a tactic of our enemies to fan flames of racial division in America to distract from the abuses of their own regimes. In 2019, following President Donald Trump\u2019s decision to back pro-democracy protesters in Hong Kong, Chinese foreign ministry official Zhao Lijian released a series of tweets condemning \u201csystematic racial discrimination\u201d in the United States.<\/p>\n<p>Part of his <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/zlj517\/status\/1200077829456769024?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">tweet<\/a> read, \u201cSystematic racial discrimination has long existed in US. Ethnic minorities faced restrictions in exercising their voting rights. US made little progress in reducing racial discrimination.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Supporters of Zhao\u2019s tweet, and even Zhao himself, are deflecting from the reality that the Chinese government has been routinely locking up and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cfr.org\/backgrounder\/china-xinjiang-uyghurs-muslims-repression-genocide-human-rights\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">abusing<\/a> Uyghur Muslims in \u201creeducation\u201d camps since 2017<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s a tactic of our enemies to fan flames of racial division in America to distract from the abuses of their own regimes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":601,"featured_media":1768546,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[546],"tags":[3884,5102,6919,6957,6953,3823,6954,6955,5125,6956],"class_list":["post-1768543","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-federalist","tag-americans","tag-discrimination","tag-federalist","tag-grilling","tag-highlights","tag-iran","tag-machine","tag-outrage","tag-racial","tag-unseriousness"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1768543","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/601"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1768543"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1768543\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1768546"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1768543"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1768543"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1768543"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
