Hi i'm from Easturkstan（or so called Xinjiang）, I have notice that some of my friends(mostly kazakhs) who choose to move to Kazakhstan are facing some kind of discrimination. For example like "Oralman" or "do you eat pork there" etc.

So my question is, why would this happened? I mean people who shown disprespect to them are mostly kazakhs too. Why this dicrimination between same race but different regions happen. Is it because of financial, social or other reason? And is there similar situation for kazakh from other countries such as Afghan, other post-soviet countries and so on?

And i have also notice that, there are discrimination in South Korea, towards Koryo-saram and Korean who from Yanbian. Does this type of actions have similarity or other how.(I don't konw if there is a subreddit for this question, i would love to ask them "korean" too )

We’ve been thinking on officializing the rules list the last couple of days, but kinda got stuck as we wanted functioning and simple for interpretation rules, and also not a wall of text, afterall it’s a subreddit, not constitution. So for now I would like post the following set for use, with time and experience we can refine/add/improve or even remove some of them that prove to be more of hindrance than use.

1. No questioning with malicious intent, baiting, provoking conflict around Kazakh ethnical identity, historical legitimacy or country’s sovereignty, territorial integrity or existence.

2. No unnecessary escalating, disruptive behaviour, verbal abuse - if you don’t respect the opponent and cannot hold a civil conversation, move on. If he violates the rules - report.

3. Posting/commenting is allowed only in Kazakh/English. Most of the active users wanted Kazakh/English subreddit, let’s try and build Qazaq space.

4. Obvious rules of internet conduct, i.e. no spam links, no fishing, no NSFW or casino stuff like promotion, etc.

UPDATE: r/Qazaqstan is ours now too, so feel free to post and interact there as well, the mod team will be the same. If anyone has any suggestions feel free to voice it as well.

Hello everyone! I'm u/irinrainbows, a founding moderator of r/Qazaq.

I hope we can build a strong Kazakh online community, to be of use, entertainment and support to us and our friends. For now I would like to propose the following starting rules and discussion points for your review, please feel free to propose adjustments, additions or anything really, voice your opinion:

1. Posts, comments on questioning with malicious intent, denying or disrupting the Kazakh national identity, ethnicity, or historical legitimacy to be banned.

2. Posts, comments aimed at denying or provoking conflict around the country’s sovereignty, territorial integrity, or existence to be banned.

3. Suggest a day to hold a Kazakh speaking day, i.e. all content and responses to be in Kazakh only, from 12am to 12am, Astana time.

4. Spamming low effort posts will get you under moderators' eye, the future posts will be under heavier scrutiny.

5. As Russian is still a language of active everyday use, how do you propose to limit it's usage here, so it leaves room for a somewhat comfortable discussion but doesn't ruin all our efforts in practicing Kazakh? I am looking into limiting the number of Russian posts per day/week.

I have also contacted r/Qazaqstan moderator to see if they would be willing to transfer the rights, awaiting their decision as of now.

Right now we have one active moderator besides myself, u/qbogdy and another person from the old r/Kazakhstan team who is to start soon. (His profile history seems decent, hence he was approved to join us in our efforts).
