Sikh Student Abused in Texas
Racism has “swam” literally from Australia to United States of America. A young Sikh student working part-time as a pizza delivery boy has been reportedly physically assaulted a group of unscrupulous US citizens when he came to deliver a pizza to their house, the Skh Coalition, a community advocacy group said. The attackers neither paid him for the pizza nor were decently behaving with him. They have hurled racial abuses at him. Although the real identity of the student or the attackers or the place of the incident has been withheld, it happened somewhere in Texas.
The student was thrown into the swimming pool and was continually kicked at head and body whenever he tried to escape. This continued for 20 minutes at the completion of which he somehow saved himself and managed to reach his car and drove off.
The SIkh group claims that the accused hurled ausive language at him. “I’m going to **** you up in Iraq, I’m going to **** you up in Afghanistan, I’m going to **** you up over here. The local police neither responded quickly, nor filed the incident as a crime of hate, the group said. “It is clear from the attackers’ references to ‘bin Laden’ and ‘Go back to Afghanistan’ and the fact that they kicked off his turban that this assault targeted not only him as an individual, but his Sikh identity.”
The Department of Justice is looking into the matter presently.
