Human nature is very disgusting. Most of the mexican Americans and one African American's reactions are shocking. Some of them do it on purpose just to fit in. As long as it's another minority, it's a-diddly okay.

How could history major students not know who Sikh's are?

‘Students now need to be able to carry guns to protect themselves from armed intruders. Think Columbine and Virginia Tech, as well as the Aurora movie theater and Milwaukee Mosque. Is there really any question?’

When I read this article I was just like WOW how much more media coverage do you need to know it was a SIKH TEMPLE not a WISCONSIN MOSQUE!!!!

Like come on that much ignorance?

I wasn't a history major, but I took a history course in college. Sikhs were only mentioned in one paragraph in the whole textbook. The teacher knew who we are, but she only mentioned us briefly when we were studying India. I think if textbooks included pictures of Sikhs, then people would be less ignorant.

The video was probably made before Wisonsin.

People are ignorant all over the world. Do you think people in a pind in Punjab know what a Jew is?

They are also very racist against black people and people with Chinese appearance from north east india.

There is less ignorance in the UK towards Sikhs but that is because there are more of us here and the fact that Sikh history is linked with UK history.

Americans are busy in their own world , most of the times. Don't expect them to know much about the world. ...

Paaji I take your point about the UK, but the fact remains that Americans are programmed by TV and their media to be ignorant towards anything that is not TEAM USA! America is a world within a world which can be broken down in to 50 countries (states) governed by their own state laws, while adherent to central governance. So there seems to be a mindset propagated that makes them very insular in their opinions of and towards non Americans.

With regards to your comment about people in the pind, I would buy in to your theory, if this documentary was filmed using people who have a limited access to books, Internet etc. in hicksville in the deep south of the US, but the fact is, that it's not! It's filmed at a university campus using some of their free thinkers, future leaders and strategists in the worlds most powerful country and largest advocate and exporter of democracy!
