Tendai posted:Sadly, I think Sikhs bore the brunt of what few physical attacks I remember reading about in the news. I can't actually remember hearing about an honest-to-god Muslim guy being attacked or anything, probably because western Muslim men generally don't wear a turban and obviously turban = Muslims. Dumb fucks. Lots and lots of muslims got beat up too, the heavy reporting of the Sikhs was mostly really lovely "and he didn't even deserve it! that is the weird thing about this!" type stories that had a really dark undertone. Like those were the sum of the ones that outraged people, not the sum of the attacks that happened.

Tendai posted:Huh, I didn't know that. All I could remember offhand was the Sikh man who got shot at his gas station. It was a little bit of people only getting mad if the "wrong' people got lynched instead of being mad there was people getting lynched at all. I don't think they were exactly burying the stories when muslims got murdered or beat up but I think the only ones that really got big media reaction was the "oops they beat up the wrong guy" stories .
