Weibo users rally against stereotyping in the wake of terrorist attack
Mitch Blatt | March 4th, 2014

After a terrorist attack on the Kunming Railway Station, which killed 29, was carried out by extremist Xinjiang separatists, some people have expressed fearful and derogatory statements about Xinjiang people and Uyghurs. Weibo users of different ethnic groups from Xinjiang are pushing back, urging their countrymen to stand against the stereotyping of Xinjiang people.

On the banners it says:" I love Xinjiang. I represent Xinjiang."
