    I know some Uighurs and this kinda lines up with what they’ve said about their experience. The State treats them no different to any other Chinese, in fact they’re probably advantaged by various affirmative action programs, but they’ve gotta be careful around cops. Racism from Han Chinese civilians is also quite common apparently, but ironically cops are their allies at that point to enforce the non-racist letter of the law.
