Aside from some of his Liberal views, its good to see Sikhi also spreading among other races.

He's a great person who takes no  nonsense from apnian bibian and babey or others   , he comes from a baptist background , a lot of new US sikhs have that background I've noticed especially those from afro-caribeaan background. On one to one conversations he is open and wants to learn so much . He is a good sikh because he calls out people who don't act right in a funny lighthearted way . He did his review of the gurdwara experience as a black man , also his first sikhi camp . His dastars are always tied impeccably , now ties dumalla.

what's  so funny ? I have seen plenty of dumbA's spewing hate at him calling him a non-sikh , telling him he could never be a sikh honestly it so smacks of brahminwadi soch ...it's sickening

Maybe in his videos, otherwise will go full SJW on people. (Which is why I mentioned I don't like some of his liberal views).

liberal views ? People were asking about his attitude to sikhi  and if he was a good role model . He basically has said that Guru ji saved his life literally , and he never lets anyone get his goat whether in family/friend circle or outsiders about his sikhi. He full on loves raag kirtan , and has knowledge of which raags are in Guru ji and which are not , he believes in Larivar saroops and wants every gurdwara to Have the correct saroop, he has learnt gurmukhi and takes hukamnama from Guru ji every time he goes Gurdwara . He does his 7 banian  and is a normal human being just like the rest , admits his own faults . How many sikhs even take the time and trouble to do that ?

As for SJW you'd have to be specific about what and why it is a problem . Yes he likes bhangra and Daler Mehndi does Michael Jackson impression (from pre sikhi days), probably believes in freedom of thought like most sane sikhs , he is justified in feeling let down by racists in his sikh sangat just as I have felt when my kids and husband have been treated differently just for being non-punjabi. It is so hard to speak of the openness and acceptance  of the message of Sikhi only to have self-appointed judges open their ill-educated mouths or even get handsy with your family members whilst they are sitting in darbar or pangat.

He seems like a clown - tries to act Panjabi even though he isn't then has the nerve to mock our people and culture and conflate it with Sikhi. Where's his culture? Does he even have one?

In my opinion, he's just using his skin colour and Sikhi for fame and money as he knows so called 'Sikhs' by name-only watch his videos for entertainment.

Why do people need to 'act right in a funny lighthearted way'? This is one of the issues we have today, especially in the west - too many people, including these so-called 'Sikhs' by name-only, are frivolous - they lack courage to be different.

Your definition of a good Sikh means very little then as this person, as already mentioned above, also enforces liberal extremist views and thinking on others who disagree with him - he's even had the arrogance to question whether someone can describe Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji in a sentence to him. Doubt he has a read a single word while he's recording himself for attention and youtube hits.

I think he has no lack of courage to be a sikh in sikhi saroop and has encouraged other kids to not be ashamed of their differentness e.g. of their kesh so I think you are confused . You sound just that racist troll on his channel , Soorma Singh's  culture is Sikhi that is what speaks to him, that is where his heart is . Some people are harsh and rude to others he however tries to gets his message across by being balanced in himself and making light of what is probably a hurtful experience for him. Being a good sikh means staying on your path even if people are basically ridiculing , abusing you for it , not losing your cool because your ego is pricked, trusting Guru ji to have your Back in life . The accusations are not backed up by a single quote/ example and yet you jumped on someone else's bandwagon just because of????

SIKHI is not PANJABI CULTURE it is GURMAT and that, is for the world community . So anyone who calls themselves a sikh and has some warped sensibilities that sikhi is only for people of the Panjab only need to look at history and see how many sikhs were created in other nations including Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq, Turkey, Sri Lanka, China, Leh, Ladakh, Tibet By Guru Nanak Dev ji himself , panj Piarey were not all born of Punjab's soil but they were reborn there.

I don't know why apney who probaly have not such a strong relationship with sikhi are so determined to stomp on newcomers who are striving to better themselves through Gurmat , they do it to Punjabis, they do it to Chinese/Japanese/Burmese/ Caribeaan/African/Europeans/Latinos basically anyone who joins sikhi . If you feel a lack due to seeing others progressing don't be an A , feel the pain understand it and work on your own SIkhi. Stop being a crab in a bucket. Every pukka gursikh will encourage others and future generations , there is strength in numbers and diversity , nothing happens without Akal Purakh's hukham so get with the program.

For those upset about Soorma SIngh pointing out our faults as a community why are you so silent about people like Jus Reign and Lily Singh  aren't they doing the same and much worse ?
