Uyghur
Turkic Muslims living in Xinjiang, western China. Minority group in China. Heavily-oppressed by the Chinese Communist Party.
The word "Uyghur" itself has no standardized English spelling, since it is normally written in the Arabic alphabet (which is difficult to standardize into English). Can also be spelled "Uighur", "Uygur", "Uigur".

Like the Tibetans, the Uyghurs are looked down upon as being lesser people to the Han-dominated CCP.
