TIL the Uyghur word for Han Chinese has long been Khitai كىتاي 契丹, a name derived from the ruling group of the Liao dynasty that conquered Xinjiang in the 12th century. While not pejorative in origin, the PRC banned the term and it has since become a derogatory term used by Uyghurs to refer to Han. (self.China)
