Fascinating story: 

The 1.1 million Rohingya living in Myanmar have long complained of persecution. They are denied citizenship and regarded as illegal migrants from Bangladesh."

There are 11 million illegal migrants in the U.S.  They are denied citizenship.  Yet no overt demonstrations and they certainly aren't arming themselves and fighting police and National Guard units. Instead, "they keep their heads down," take jobs nobody else wants (at least, at the wages they are offered) and carry on. Persecution? Well, now that Trump is in office...  Persecution is subtle; few Mexican-Americans are openly, physically attacked. 

The argument might be made that the muslims in Myanmar brought this on themselves (Yeah, yeah, I know: blame the victim.)

Elsewhere, the country's much-esteemed leader says the furor is caused by a "misinformation campaign."  Might be some truth to that.  I mean, it can happen, right?  Misinformation, Canadian-style: "Canada welcomes you..."
