Here’s the pronunciation audio. “Ooy-ghur”. (The German and Russian pronunciations seem pretty close to me.) English-speakers say “wee-gur”, which is kinda far from the original, but so is, I dunno, “Japan”, so it’s not a mispronunciation, it’s the official pronunciation being bad.

The joke about people pretending to care when they don’t even know the first thing about Uyghurs is perfectly fair, I just don’t like how it sounds like it’s making fun of the actual name of the people.

I would like to introduce the first half of your sentence to the second half—it seems they are not fully acquainted yet for some reason.

You have already had the joke explained, why are you still clutching your pearls over fucking nothing?

I get what the joke is going for, but I don’t like how it sounds anyway? Those aren’t mutually exclusive things.

I’m not calling you a racist or anything that would amount to “pearl-clutching”. A joke is meant to entertain. Instead, it mildly rustles my jimmies. I’m expressing the fact of said rustling. Take that as you will.
