China: Han’s prejudices and discriminations towards Uyghur  · Global Voices
Winglok Hung

The July 5 Xinjiang riot has passed over a month and the majority of Chinese netizens are still blaming the West and Rebiya Kadeer for promoting Xinjiang separatist movements. Nevertheless, there are some whispering voices popping up here and there in the Chinese Internet, like this one sentence comment at the BBS of people.com , which suggested that the unrest in Urumqi was a result of long term oppression:
一次一次的被欺压，却没地方说理，当然就要暴力！
The Han's ethnic discrimination towards Uyghurs has been a source of conflict in China long before the July unrest. Searching from the online discussions on Tianya forum, there are many stories about Han's prejudice against Uyghurs. Here is one of the stories:
先就我亲身经历来说说。我在乌鲁木齐上大学时，那时候中央电视台很出名的一档节目——非常6+1，有一期的电话幸运观众是个新疆人，主持人问他最大的梦想是什么？他的回答竟然是:希望到首都北京去住上几天旅馆。他的这个梦想把主持人都弄蒙了，问其原因才知道，原来90年代初的时候他带儿子去北京治病，结果就因为是新疆人，竟然没有一家旅馆敢收留他们的
People's press also has similar experience back in 2006:
2006年圣诞夜，我正好在北京。北京任何一家酒吧都不必在门口挂出“不欢迎新疆人”的牌子。但无论我走到哪家都被门口保安拦下。
Apart from all the everyday life conflicts, many are frustrated by Hans people's misunderstandings and prejudices. Looking at cloud and water flow,  yelled out loud on Tianya forum that he is a Xinjiang people to express his anger on such prejudices,
我要大声说我是新疆人…. 新疆是有小偷，可是哪里没有小偷？难道新疆有小偷，就说小偷都是来自新疆么？去做小偷的少数民族很容易被认出来。好么这就将小偷的帐全都算在了新疆人身上。我去过几次内地发现内地的治安远不如新疆。
Even the government wants to adjust policy for preserving Uyghur's language and culture, many Han Chinese refuse to support. A recent example is the Central government's plan  to invest double amount of funding (USD 121 million) on bilingual kindergartens education in Xinjiang. Again, there are many complaints on such kind of policy favoritism:
Liar without draft was angry about the policy:
为什么其他地方幼儿园严重不足，而政府却不予重视呢？
