@BuzzFeedAndrew not what I was saying at all. Relating what experts have said why Sikhs have been targeted in the past.
CNN: Sikhs “Unfairly” Mistaken For Muslims
Cable news networks covering the shooting at a Sikh temple in Wisconsin emphasized to their viewers that Sikhs are not Muslims, a confusion CNN described as unfair. Sometimes-violent anti-Muslim sentiment is pretty much taken for granted at this point.
I know, right? Now tell your friends!

Fox “News” talking heads are unfairly mistaken for journalists. (It’s unfair to real journalists.)

briso 9 months agoWhat kind of people would listen to fox news? The Only people I know who think fox news checks facts is Rush Limbaugh and the Tea party Haters in America. I think it is funny they don’t bother with real journalism. They are tool for the Right. It is funny how the “Ditto heads” try to defend them! Gee did they try to blame Obama for this all that goes wrong in the usa is his fault even things the GOP does on purpose. It seems to me the GOP said Fuck the Economy we will do all we can to make sure Obama is 1 term president, Even though GOP put us in this Economy we want Obama to own it. We will not help no matter how much it hurts our country.

Unfairly? What does that mean? It would’ve been fair if the group of targeted people had been Muslims?

Ten years behind the times, CNN, well done. There were reports of Sikh men being assaulted after 911 because these brain dead hicks thought they were muslims. Next on the news wire: Andersen Cooper is gay. And most muslims DO NOT WEAR TURBANS. They spend so much time and money and effort to plan these shootings, and they don’t even check if they have the religion they are targeting? How can Americans be so ignorant as to not be able to tell the difference between Muslims and Sikhs? These shooters seem to value ignorance above all else.
