On Cultural Privilege

[Zack Exley]

Keep in mind CHina's only got 1.1 million people in all their various kinds
of re-educaiton camps,
We've got 2 million.  And they, obviously, have 4 times our population.
Maybe a US correctional facility would have just as much sit-com potential.
You'd think with a full 1% of adult our pop in jail one of the networks
would do something with that, no?
