A 20-year-old Sikh man was kicked out of an overnight queue to watch the Wimbledon tennis championships as he apparently made other people around him "uncomfortable".

Govindpal Kooner took to Facebook last week to voice his anger at being thrown out and claimed it was an act of racism, cases of which have reported a rise in the wake of Britain's vote to leave the European Union (EU).

May be it is time to ditch the 16th century and join the 21st century. Turban and beard are so medieval.

Any white person can be detained, questioned, then arrested at any time, just because they're white.

It's a difficult charge to defend against, if the authorities pigeonhole a subject as white, aka suspected and presumed racist.

Within 10 years America will also impose these codes upon their subjects.

Had he bathed recently? Was it a hard-to-take odor that made others uncomfortable? Just asking.

I had to purchase a large can of aerosol air freshener one time on a meal break while taking an inter-city bus trip, on which the front two seats were occupied by turban-wearing, robed, stench-emitting men. The other passengers kept begging me to spray more.

What's the difference? You mean how in the 21st Century we're educated and think things through, using sophisticated digital pocket telecommunications hardware to take five seconds to determine that Sikhs are peaceful non-Muslims who have been horribly victimized by Islam, versus just the 16th Century method of attacking them and throwing them out because they don't dress exactly like the rest of the collectivist techno tribe and vaguely remind us of bad guys?

You mean like that?

I’ve known a good many Sikhs in my time, and, to a man (and lady), they were good folks.

Just my experience.

1. No you didn't.

2. What does that have to do with Sikhs?

Look, you can’t live like a medival peasant for the world to see and still expect others not react to you watching Tennis or any other 21st century sport where women athletes are practically selling their bodies to the crowd.

You're making a total @ss of yourself. Sikhs are no more Muslims than Christians are. They're NOTHING like Muslims. Grow up and learn the difference.

Interesting. I have had the same experience with some Texas women.

One of my doctors at the Cleveland Clinic was a Sikh. Pretty smart guy I’d say, probably not living like a medieval peasant.

You’re not the brightest bulb are you.......

He would make life easier for himself and those around him if he dressed similar to other men in that country. This doesn’t mean he has to give up being proud of his Sikh heritage.

“I’ve known a good many Sikhs in my time, and, to a man (and lady), they were good folks.”

Indeed. Sikhs have always been good folk throughout history. Tall, civilized, loyal, fierce, educated and anti-Muslim.

Really? Because the Freeper you were agreeing with was talking about the subject of the article, which is a Sikh.

Now tell me, way down in the heart of Texas (what plumb don't want my kind), y'all differentiate between Muslims and Sikhs, or just plug 'em both, hoot and holler, and let God sort 'em out?
