Sikhs need to mount a good PR campaign. Drop any notion of political correctness and educate America about their history of fighting Islam and how to tell the difference between Sikhs and muslims.

I want a white male caucus.

Oh great just what this country needs is another hyphenated American group proving without a doubt they are not Americans.
If you are a hyphenated American you will always be a lessor American at best or working for our destruction at worse.
The fact that they even think they need such a caucus proves they have not comprehended what it means to be an American and may I suggest they take their silly culture and customs elsewhere.
(sigh)
Many decades ago, American was the melting pot of inclusion for all races and ethnicities. Today, thanks to our incompetent politicians and “political correctness”, we are becoming the country of exclusivity - Black whatever groups, gay whatever groups, Japanese whatever groups, 3-legged Andalusian goat whatever groups, Arab whatever groups; in fact, any special interest group EXCEPT whites.
And people wonder why America is splintering.
Go figure.
“racist”
How good of you to notice.
Thank you, very much.
i was hoping i had found a friend
E PLURIBUS UNIIM
Aren't members of a special interest caucus in Congress usually members of that special interest? How many of those 28 are actually Sikhs? And how many are joining to get (further) on the Congressional gravy train and get some more money for their staff to do caucus work?
“I want a white male caucus.”
I would settle for an American Caucus.
How I wish this was Washington D.C. A certain Kenyan would be wetting the bed.
I’d like to see the crime statistics.
Is racial violence against Sikhs more common than Black racial violence against whites?
I doubt it.
Here in Seattle, Sikhs dominate the taxi business.
My first thought...
Does working in a high crime risk occupation distort the violence and bullying statistics?
In any melting pot, the dross floats to the top.........
I’ve been to India! They are more than welcome to leave their culture behind and become non-hyphenated Americans.
Assimilate or leave. PLEASE we do not need more splinter groups.
” A bipartisan group of 28 influential lawmakers..”
The balkanization of America continues unabated.

Sikhs do get a lot of grief from people who assume that anyone wearing a turban is a muslim.
That's not quite true. Even many decades ago, there were organizations/groups for all sorts of different ethnicities/religions/nationalities, especially in areas with large immigrant populations. Think Chinatowns, Little Italy, Little Germany, Irish organizations, Jewish organizations, etc. The idea that the America of decades back was some sort of single unified culture where immigrants were welcomed and assimilated immediately is not quite accurate. Consider the movie Gangs of New York - obviously a fictional account, but the portrayal of racial/ethnic/national tensions in the mid-19th century was pretty accurate.
There may not have been Congressional Caucuses, but that's largely because there weren't many Congressmen who were not
