The video we watched on Friday was tragic and sad. So called
“patriot” killed innocent Indian people just because he wore a turban and had a
beard. Yes, his appearance may look a lot like 911 terrorist Osama Bin Laden;
however, this does not mean that he would be a terrorist as well. It is a
religious thing for them to wear turban everyday and people should not judge
them by their appearance and stereotype them accordingly. This video can relate
to CRT tenet number one, saying “racism is ordinary, it happens in everyday
life,” and number four, which states “dominant society will always radicalize
different group at different times.” The
Indian Americans were the victims of racism in this case. But more people are
also affected by ordinary racism in real life. It is not justice for the
dominant group to judge people by their appearance, race, gender or any other
standards.
