I'm sure the shooter wasn't quite clear on the differences between different types of exotic brown people

many sikhs have been attacked over the last decade by people trying to attack arabs/muslims

Yeah, that was some of the craziest collateral of 9/11. People see someone with a turban and beard and go crazy. The irony is that Sikhs actually have a history of some enmity with Muslims, right?

they had beef with the mughals but I think because of their 80s separatist movements they were recently heavily persecuted by the hindu state establishment too
