gutta_NTR Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 A gurdwara, a Sikh place of worship, in Kent, WA. A gunman fired at a Sikh person in Washington state on Friday, allegedly telling him “Go back to your own country,” prompting local authorities to reach out to federal agents as they continue to search for a suspect. On Friday around 8 p.m. local time, a 39-year-old Sikh man was doing work on his car on his driveway in Kent, Washington, when a man he described as white and stocky approached him, according to the Seattle Times. The victim reportedly told police that the two men became involved in an altercation, during which his attacker made comments, including “Go back to your own country.” Speaking at a press conference, a Kent police spokesperson announced that the man who was shot did not suffer life-threatening injuries. “I can tell you right now we’re early on in our investigation. The shot resulted in non-life-threatening injuries. However, we are treating this as a very serious incident,” the spokesperson said. Kent police have reached out to the FBI and other local agencies to assist in the investigation, the Seattle Times reported. Jasmit Singh, a leader in the Seattle area Sikh community, told BuzzFeed News incidents of hate targeting members of the Sikh community have been on the rise in the last couple of months. From rude comments to increasingly violent encounters, Singh said members of the Sikh community have been facing an increasing number of often violent encounters. “We’ve had our share of hate incidents in the past, but definitely the last two months there have been a distinct escalation of these cases,” he said. “We are living in a very different climate.” Other minorities have also experienced similar incidents, he said, but Sikhs have often been targeted and singled out because of their turbans and long beards. However, he said he has been heartened by the proactive response of local leaders who have reached out to Sikh community leaders since Friday’s shooting, including the governor’s office. “This is no longer the case of us sitting back and letting things happen,” said Singh. “I feel there is an urgency inside my heart and in other individuals that we need to deal with this head on.” The Sikh Coalition, a Sikh civil rights group based in New York, released a statement Saturday saying they appreciated the law enforcement response, but that attacks such as Friday’s shooting needed to be addressed on a national level. “While we appreciate the efforts of state and local officials to respond to attacks like this, we need our national leaders to make hate crime prevention a top priority,” Rajdeep Singh, interim managing director of programs for the Sikh Coalition told BuzzFeed News. “Tone matters in our political discourse because this is a matter of life or death for millions of Americans who are worried about losing loved ones to hate.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chsrk Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 @minion bro, I hope you are in US for a considerable period of time.... I have a question.... US lo Chinese population is more in number compared tin indians.... why don't we hear attacks on them?? Are Chinese never targeted? Or as we can't understand Chinese, and are we we musing those items in Chinese news? very valid question maestro brother.....you will have to talk to an American if you have to have the right perspective on this.....Few years ago we had a seminar in our university on the topic "China and India - in the eyes of America", perhaps some of the highlights from this seminar should address your question well.. How does an average american view a chinese and an Indian? Chinese with their brand of Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan movies are seen as natural fighters. Sun Tzu and his treatise Art of war is seen as a classic among war manuals....most american corporate world tries to emulate Sun Tzu's instructions in the world of business too....Chinese Shaolin martial traditions are well respected in almost all the fighting clubs within United States....Coming to India, India is seen as a Land of Mahatma Gandhi, apostle of Non-violence...Most american children never watch any Bollywood movies, even if they watch accidently, they only watch movies like Slum xxx millionaire because they are the only such movies glorified,awarded and rewarded here.......Imagine how all the scenarios create a perspective on an average american...Who you are is important, but what is more important is how you are branded. Branding has consequences and I need not explain it in any more words... China is seen as a threat while India even inspite of its many achievements in the economic, defence scientific fields is never seen as such....Chinese are seen as hard nuts while Indians are seen as soft targets,vulnerable and liable to be poached easily......this is the perception of an average american...I hope this answers your query ... By the way, do you carry atleast a pocket knife, a baton or any mini self-defense equipment with you or does your wife carry atleast a pepper spray with her...most average americans, chinese carry them...perhaps its high time we Indians carry them too...
