成人快手 Minute: On why the Pope avoided the word 'Rohingya'
Pope Francis has given a keynote speech in Myanmar, demanding "respect for each ethnic group," but he did not refer specifically to its Muslim Rohingya community. Rights groups had urged the Pope to use the term. The 成人快手's Asia Pacific Editor, Celia Hatton, explains why the use of the term 'Rohingya' is controversial.
