Hurtful Comment About Sikhs!

[Jagmeet]

At around 9.25-9.30pm on the programme, the main presenter made a hurtful remark about the Sikhs and their turban. The presenter made a comment 'its towel head' after he read a statement about Nikki Haley being from Sikh origin. Sikh's do not wear towels or rags, Sikh's wear turbans. The turbans that served the British Army during both World Wars. A passage from the Sikh Regiment on Wikipedia: In the last two World Wars 83,005 turban wearing Sikh soldiers were killed and 109,045 were wounded while fighting across 3 continents.[5] In the years to 1945, 14 Victoria Crosses were awarded to the Sikhs, a per capita record given the size of the Sikh Regiments.[6] In 2002, the names of all Sikh VC and George Cross winners were inscribed on the pavilion monument of the Memorial Gates on Constitution Hill next to Buckingham palace, London.

Sorry there are few nasty words in there, should have bleeped them out but haven't got the time, thought I'd pass it on!
