And what you choose to see as isolated incidents carried out by a few ignorant individual, they see it as a targeted hate crime activity by a very well organized group. Sikhs are warriors, they dont live off people's mercy or sympathy to worry about what Americans will consign them to.
I am using the word ‘towelhead’ not for what I think of them, but as a representation of what a lot of Americans will think of them when they see scenes like that depicted in the photo. Many already can’t make the distinction between Sikh and Muslim, they will simply conflate both groups in the same category, i.e. ‘angry ragheads’ and dismiss them.
As for your last paragraph, you seem to be justifying their stupidity and willful ignorance if they think that what has happened is ‘targeted hate crime activity by a very well organized group’ when it blindly obvious to any impartial observer that that is not the case. So why are you justifying their stupidity?
