I didn't know much of Sikhs except their turbans around their heads.
It seems to be good and peaceful teachings I cannot be against.
I hope some crazy Americans stop doing their violence and attacks against some ethnics including us.

Indeed, Sikhs are very peaceful peoples/Punjabi despite they were the bloody victims of discrimination by Hindus as well as Muslims through centuries. During the visit to Delhi, India, we had a chance to visit one of the Sikh temples - you have to remove your shoes and walk on bare feet!- and also their museum where they kept all the records/pictures/photos of bloody victim head/face of leading gurus, massacred by Hindu. We also had a free lunch together with other crowds- it's their tradition to serve the lunch to all the visitors!- which was also a unique experience. If I remember correctly, the gurus/leaders of Sikh opposed the British policy of partition to India and Pakistan before the independence so that poor Sikhs were massacred by both Hindus and Muslims, though they were all same Punjabi. BTW, there are quite a few Sikhs here in the U.S. especially among the physicians and even in our surgery department, we have two Sikh surgeons!

All these hate crimes against Asians and other foreigners stem from Donald Trump's
and the Republican ideology.
Sikhs are truly gentle and proud people. There's no reason for them to suffer such treatment.
There is no doubt about Trump's bad influence. We should know how to resolve this issue.
The solution is in the eventual demise of the Republicans and Trump.
I believe it is coming slowly and, eventually, we will get over this crisis.

I knew nothing about Sikhs until I read this article.
These are amazing people!
