The world's most persecuted people?
OP: The Rohingya, an ethnic group in Burma (also often called Myanmar), have been referred to as the most persecuted people on earth (see here, here, and here).
A recent increase in attacks against the Rohingya in the country has seen many flee the country to neighboring Bandladesh (see below).

I am half Burmese and this really sickens me. It bothers me that when I ask my normally kind mother about it, she laughs it off as a "government distraction," as if real lives aren't in danger!! All of her charitable connections in Myanmar are Buddhist, so I have no way of helping the Rohingya directly.
I am just so ashamed...

Thank you for this. I literally just had another fight with my mom about it, and like to be completely fair, she can't exactly ask around when she visits Burma or she might face retaliation. Thank you for the links.
