NYC Marathon: Sikh Group Fights Racism With Running

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) His turban and long beard have made Simran Jeet Singh the target of racism on his daily runs.

Typically, sort of Islamophobic comments, the Columbia University doctoral student told WCBS 880s Marla Diamond. You know, people will call me Osama or call me a terrorist.

As a result, Singh helped form Surat Fauj, a running club for Sikhs, in part, to help normalize and humanize people who look like us, he said.
