New York (Tolerance Of Sikhs)

[learningkaur]

isit mountbattern because if so then i'm sure it will be fine, you will be with other mb interns most of the time, and at work everyone will be professional...

In terms of Staten Island, do you mean its just a dangerous place anyway (regardless of who you are) or is there a reason for Sikhs to be particularly careful?

It's dangerous in general. Be careful if you wish to visit

no but i have sikh friends which have, one was a trim singh the rest moneh, so i don't know where you fit in with that, i think a lot of people go on it to 'have a good time' because you share rooms don't you, you can only have your own room in the last 6 months and that's if you work as the person in charge of the flat. I don't know if you would find it appropriate if you are a amritdhari or practicing sikh, depends on your personality? I don't think you will have problems from new yorkers, becase you will be on the busy commuting routes etc, and after what happened in Wisconsin they should be aware that you are a sikh and not a muslim?

learningkaur, yeah you do share rooms. I am not an amritdhari, I'm a keshdhari. Don't read bani on a regular basis/don't get up for amrivela. I don't drink but I am an open and adventurous type of personality. I'm sure I would find things to do even if everyone else is going off on a binge drinking session! Which I don't think many will really do (not on a regular anyway) as it is more professional than say living out at uni (because here you are working in a professional environment rather than studying). I have a friend (non sikh) who has been too. He had a blast.

Don't know about the last part (aware I am a Sikh and not a Muslim) as I will not be wearing a turban. I will have my hair tied up at the back of my head and have a long beard. Don't know what they will think, lol. But yeah, seeing from the reponses in terms of how visible Sikhs are treated etc, that has enlightened me a bit. However, I will probably get more looks or whatever than 'visible' Sikhs because of my unique hairstyle.

You'll be fine singh just control your anger remember woooo sahhhh

Lol, cool. I'll try my level best if I go

[learningkaur]

Oh you will be fine then. I thought you may have been a full on bana wearing Singh who didn't know what he was getting himself into. Goodluck!

Staten Island isn't dangerous. It's mostly middle-class. Some bad parts, but mostly okay. I lived in Harlem for about a year. People think that's a bad area, but those people were friendlier than the goreh downtown. Overall, most people don't bother you, unless you go looking for trouble. Now people go out of their way to talk to you.
