Location of error: Section: History; subsection: Contemporary era/Human rights abuses; 2nd paragraph; last sentence. Change "...have sometimes assigned to monitor..." to "...have sometimes been assigned to monitor..." by adding the word "been" after "sometimes". ~2026-24238-55 (talk) 22:52, 19 April 2026 (UTC)Reply

As pointed out in the article, it is meaningless to classify the ethnicity of the modern uyghur, as the modern uyghur is clearly the product of multi-racial encounters. The same is true with most peoples who identify as "jewish", as they are mix-racial. It is as ridiculous as classifying people such as Barack Obama as black, he may identify as black, but he is genetically only half black, the other half being white. The non-East Asian genetics of the modern Uyghur is mostly from north indian stock. It came from similar migrations from the region at similar times, where, the migration into the middle east and the near east gave rise to the dom people, and their movement into Europe gave rise to the romany or gypsies. Some of the descendants of these people migrated east again into China, others moved from south Asia into China. It is virtually impossible to distinguish many of the modern uyghurs from European gypsies from appearance. Although the language of the present uyghurs have changed from their gypsy ancestors, some words and their culture have remained; for example, the naan bread is still called "naang", and they have retained their music, dance and cooking. It is more accurate to name the uyghurs in China as the Chinese gypsies. ~2026-17094-16 (talk) 20:37, 20 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
