The mere fact that she's Latina isn't enough to establish racist intent. The important fact seems to be that she's a she, establishing sexual intent.
I don't get the connection to racism. The Uighurs are Muslim separatists, and the Chinese government is definitely out to get them--because they're Muslims and separatists! Ethnically, they're Turks, too. But I think the main problem is the backtalk. China doesn't like backtalk. The original story did show Chinese racism against blacks. So what if it was 3 years old?

Doesn't seem that surprising to me. They wanted to enforce arbitrary laws, but didn't want to be held accountable for it.

I don't tolerate racism, because growing up my parents didn't tolerate it either. They told my brother & I growing up they'd skin us alive if they found out we were being racist. Now at 43, my brother 41 & my parents in their 70's, we still to this day don't tolerate it all. I remember my senior year of high school, some kid was racist & he was a sophomore,. I got mad, shoved him in his locker, gave his locker key to the principal who saw what happened. I walked away, didn't get in trouble, but stood up against racism & didn't want to deal with the ignorant brat.
Ugly, one would think in two generations some measure humility, compassion, and equality would have seeped in.
