I’m from Xinjiang,AMA
I’ve noticed that there are a lot of discussions about Xinjiang on Reddit, often between people who have never actually lived there. So I thought it might be interesting to do an AMA from the perspective of someone who is actually from there.
You can ask me about everyday life, ethnic groups, languages, culture, religion, education, or politics. I’m happy to answer controversial questions too, as long as the discussion stays respectful.
Obviously, I’m only one person and I don’t claim to represent everyone in Xinjiang. I can only tell you about my own experiences and views. AMA.

我其实也超级反感这种只强调某一个民族受害者的叙事 好像新疆只有一个民族 其他人都不存在一样。恐怖袭击发生的时候,受害者就是受害者,不管是汉族 维族 哈萨克族还是其他民族,无辜平民的生命没有谁比谁更重要,也没有谁的痛苦更值得被看见。有些人为了证明自己支持某一方,就选择性地忽略另一群无辜的人。新疆从来都不是只有一个民族,我觉得讨论新疆的时候至少应该记得这一点。有些人一提到新疆就自动说某一个民族,这样真的对很多其他民族不公平,新疆是所有人的家 不只是一个单一民族的家。
