Someone on Twitter claim Woke and Critical Theory first emerged as Capitalism friendly alternative to Marxism. Is this true? What is Critical Theory? Are they allies or enemies to Marxism-Leninism? (lemmygrad.ml)

I have no idea what Critical Theory is to be honest. So forgive me if this question sounds ignorant or reactionary.

China literally has state-mandated “affirmative action” for ethnic minorities

Oh, that's good to know. Did not know that. I guess I assumed they wouldn't have need for such a thing because they don't have the same kind of racialized history that the US has. But given their interest in properly representing the people's needs, it does make sense they'd want to make sure ethnic minorities don't get ignored.

No, minority groups were also excluded from the 1 child policy when it existed for example, and they have quite a few autonomous regions throughout the country.
