How do you deal with racism and anti-Sikh prejudice coming from some Hindus?
I'm Sikh and I've noticed a lot more anti-Sikh comments online lately. Sometimes it's jokes about our appearance, sometimes misinformation about Sikh history, and sometimes outright hatred.
​
Before anyone jumps in, I'm obviously not talking about all Hindus. I'm talking about the people who spread anti-Sikh stereotypes, mock Sikhs, or treat us as outsiders despite our community's long history and contributions. Racist SIurs has been used for Sikhs like Lassi Khalistani 12 o'clock jokes but they have done same for others like Christians are called Ricebags and to Muslims the word Mulla and for Dalits and Buddhists it's Bhimta castist slur
​
For other Sikhs here: how do you deal with it? Do you ignore it, confront it, educate people, report it, or just disengage?
​
I'm interested in hearing real experiences, especially from people who have dealt with this both online and in real life. Has it gotten worse in recent years, or is social media just making it more visible?
