I've never heard Canadian Sikhs viewing themselves superior to non-Canadian Sikhs; I've heard stuff related to Jathas thinking they are superior to others though.

I've seen it and experienced it. They think by virtue of living in North America somehow lends them some sort of advantage or superiority. I guess the access to larger living spaces probably translates in their minds to being a superior class of human, whereas Brit dwellers have to budge up against everyone else in comparably smaller spaces, lol, I don't know, it probably is something as idiotic as what I've just explained.

Sounds as dumb as how some apne think they are superior because of their caste.

These are excellent conversations Sikhs should be having with each other if not in person then on forums like these. For too long youngsters have felt like nobody understands their point of view when it comes to their experiences with their own people. Usually, we're expected to brush it under the carpet or just get on with it, because who has time for these thoughts when there's so much money to be made (!)

Isn't America considered the 'top' place ?

Probably, I've heard about how some people would rather be in America then wherever they are at, but "grass is always greener on the other side"

It might be really dumb, but how common is it! Very!!

Maybe most of our quom is just dumb? And those of us who don't think that way have the honour of beholding it all in a partial state of denial, exasperation and frustration?  lol!!

In the nicest way possible, yeah most of our people are just dumb.

I think some of it is cultural and genetic, some of it may be down to this?

Tribalism - common in 'developing' and 'third world' countries. Present in the West but to lesser extent and different forms, e.g. classism. 

I think like you have said before @dallysingh101, it was propagated by the British

Yeah, very interesting. Sikhi itself consistently attacks that type of tribalism. That Jagjit Singh has a lot of interesting stuff to say about this very topic in his book.
