Yes, don't be surprised when the locals rightfully get pissed at a white person appropriating their culture in their homeland for internet clout.

If you're talking about the actual people of that cultutre doing it, there are tons on both RedNote and YouTube if you search in Chinese or Uyghur.

Actually, most of these comments seem to stem from people not finding videos like these when searching in English and therefore automatically assuming they don't exist. Even though they do. And that's assuming you searched at all in any language which most of you haven't. Surprise surprise, most Uyghurs in Xinjiang don't speak or upload videos in English.
