I know that in Tibet, It's compulsory for Tibetan to be taught alongside Mandarin for ethnic Tibetans. It's compulsory for Han and Hui in Tibet to be taught Mandarin, with the option of studying Tibetan. If we can infer from this that the same policy exists for the province of XinJiang, then I see no problems with the way the languages are taught at all.

Just reading the Wiki. sources about Xinjiang, The impression I get that although China was a big player in the region, nowhere does it suggest that China claimed it as being part of Greater China does it?
In fact Wiki says they built the Great Wall to keep people from coming into China? from that region, that doesn't resemble the actions of a country who regards Xinjiang as being part of China.
In my opinion, arguing about history is largely moot for modern day separatist movements. What you have to consider is that about half the population in XinJiang are Han Chinese, and the majority of the citizens in Urumqi are Han Chinese. Any solution to the soothing of ethnic discontent and meeting the demands of the Uighurs over the land will have to also consider these Han Chinese in the region. Let's forget history, that's irrelevant to the residents of that area who just wants to make ends meet. Instead we should find a solution that is acceptible to both ethnic groups.

Chinese mobs hunting for Uighurs.

There is a mentality in the West of something like "anything that's not like us is evil" and they would take every chance to protray them that way. China is "communist" there equals evil.
Notice how not a single Western news outlet has picked up the pictures showing Hans bleeding on the ground after being beaten to death, when those pictures are widely available on the internet?
Now if there were pictures of police beating back Uighurs protestors, those would be beamed around the world in seconds, shown on TV 24/7 and in every newspaper and magazine!
This riot, and the ones in Tibet last year, truly have been an eye opener on the world's "free" media.

Dont forget it all started with a couple of Hans spreading a message about a girl being raped by Uighurs.
Stories like that don't ease things even if true.but am I mistaken that the rumor was false?
Xinjiang was a official province of China during the Qing dynasty, it was also controled by the Han dynasty Xiyu Governer and was periodically part of china or controlled by china during other dynasties, great wall was built over 2300 years ago.
Wiki is not fact, just some random people wrote on it.
Why is this so important? Something that happened 2000km away in Guangdong province, and were obviously dealt with by the police. Its not the chinese that were racially discriminating, but rather the Uighers that obviously think theý are special and stand above the law for some strange reason. Besides starting rumour to foul strangers on internet is easy, but all the factory workers in the situation were all fouls too? Not likely.

This is a stupid picture comments, after the riots in Xinjiang, the authorities had control of the situation in the XinJiang capital - Urumqi, but some people called for the Han Chinese people together through the streets to protest, thousands of Han Chinese took to the streets yesterday, public meetings and demonstrations, there are a small number of people carrying clubs, but riot police already had dispersed them.
