More of the absurdity of racism, Sikhs are caucasoid, look at Nikki Haley, governor of South Carolina. This minority business is just a scam to get money.
See previous letters from "Spirit Of The Fighting 69th.
By James Fulford writes: There’s a lot in what the writer says — Sikhs come in a variety of colors, frequently very white, but the point is that they're already doing better than blacks or Hispanics, and thus don’t need Affirmative Action.
Nikki Haley’s father is a doctor, her mother built a multi-million dollar business, and Haley herself has an accounting degree. This is not Maxine Waters.
I said in my article that SALDEF, the Sikh clone of MALDEF, has a lot less to do than MALDEF, et al, because
- Sikhs actually don’t commit that much crime;
- there’s no official discrimination against them;
- they don’t fail standardized tests at a great rate.
Of course, if university admissions offices ever figure out that Sikhs count as either white or Asian, then they will be discriminated against.
