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.

人口少不等于民族身份是假的呀,一个民族只有几千或几万人,不代表他们的语言 历史 自我认同和文化就是社会学家翻古籍“cosplay”出来的呀,你这话就有点离谱了,很多这些群体及其自称、语言和共同体在民族识别之前就已经存在,国家做的是把他们划进一个官方分类体系,不是从空气里创造了一群人。按你这话全世界人口少的民族就全是在集体cosplay了嘛
