Racial/ethnic discrimination violates the Olympic Charter. The Chinese Govt engages in systemic & severe racial discrimination against Tibetans/Uighurs. For example, in some areas Chinese police require hotels to report all Tibetan/Uighur visitors. In Tibetan areas, there are checkpoints where Han Chinese breeze through but Tibetans are subject to strict searches. It's easy for most Han Chinese to get passports but very difficult for Tibetans/Uighurs who often need a letter from their local police. Uighur Muslims are banned from participating in Ramadan but Hui or Han Chinese Muslims are not. The list goes on.
