Btw there is no newsflash.
Secondly....... Sikhs community leaders in US themselves have been complaining for almost a decade now about elevated levels of racial violence against them post 9/11 . They arent quite satisfied with the “random act of violence” BS being peddled.
Firstly you dont know that they are citizens. Most Sikhs I know are not citizens (and I know a lot more Sikhs in US then you ever would).
You opinion on this particular issue is heavily weighed down by your own “hate America” baggage that you carry over from other global issues facing US. India is not inherently America hating country. India is quite pro-America in fact. However it is often arrogance in times like these that fuels the America hating anger overseas. Its much more prudent diplomacy to apologize and let the dust settle. Lest you want another country (which is actually a friendly ally) to have the same attitude towards visiting Americans or expats living in India.
And I highly doubt that the US government (even the one as bad as the current one) would go about determining the citizenship status of the dead victims, relatives or the temple goers before making a call on whether or not to apologize. That would not only be very insulting but that would definitely piss of the Sikh community and India.
When I say “in the case” it doesn’t mean it IS the case.
My comments stand as written. Don’t jump to conclusions. Bye.
Doesn’t matter either ways.
it doesn’t matter who created that term — YOU are the one repeating it. No one else on this thread has said anything about the Sikhs. you, ravager, are insulting them, why?
Read the papers before coming up with stupid comments.
those were American citizens, not Indian citizens.

in fact there is no proof for your statement that they were recent migrants either. Don't jump to stupid conclusions
I use it to refer to my kind. I am allowed to.
Oh yeah you read newspapers, so you know. You make me laugh.
No need to feign that silly umbrage, little boy. You got nothing.

Isn’t the term “raghead” used for Arabs and other Muslims?
To American eyes we look like Arabs and Muslims. Eitherways Indian are called ragheads too.

Okay, some Indians appear as “ragheads” to some Americans but many Americans try to insult Indians by calling them that.
