Yes that's a new generation thing. It's funny because I've heard the Canadian apnay have retained their language to a high extent. Bengalis all seem to know their language pretty well. 

this is true @jkvlondon but coconutting isn't really that bad? Are you saying, that the goreh way of doing things is not as spiritual?

given that the current gora way is to denigrate any form of faith, normative hetrosexual behaviour, marriage/commitment  then yes it is not spiritual  but cultural marxism where you end up with people of colour self-loathing  to such an extent that they look in the mirror and deny reality but claim and think they are white:

 

 

I've experienced it in my family members

I don't think its fair to say this hetero behaviour is from goreh

You can tell muslay from the way they try and speak Panjabi too. It's usually way off from how Sikhs speak it. Yes, some can speak Panjabi a little bit like us, but how they are taught to give proper Arabic pronunciation to certain words from that quarter gives them away. 

I honestly can't help but think that an apna that can't tell a sullah from a Sikh is probably 'special needs' if you know what I mean. 

It's not always easy to tell the difference tbh. When they speak then you can obviously tell the difference. But by looking it can be hard sometimes. 

I hated being mistaken for a paki all the time, in fact that was the main reason why I stopped cutting my hair. It seriously really started p!ssing me off.

Are you missing my point? There is nothing wrong with retaining your own heritage and making serious endeavours to do this. Preservation of what is good within your own heritage is not mutually exclusive to learning things from other cultures. Like I like trying to develop my Gurmukhi skills, but I also like developing my English language skills because it helps me access other forms of information that can be useful - like reading Charles Dickens. 

When you look at DG, it also demonstrates a clear intention to retain ones faith, whilst also broadening intellectual horizons by looking at other literature/texts/languages. 

I would say that everyday gora culture, as I've experienced it in ENgland, doesn't place much value on spiritual matters. The culture is more tied to hedonistic beliefs, which themselves are often tied to consumerism - which itself is closely tied to the economic strategies being employed here. I think underlying these things is also Darwinian theories of survival of the fittest.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
