FACE OF TERRORISM
In July last year, a Tweeter asked if it was racist to feel
uncomfortable with a man wearing a turban on his flight. It
“wasn’t OK” with him
Am I racist if I feel uncomfortable about a guy with a turban on my
plane because this isn't okay with me
— Ryan Carr (@HardRCarr)
More than a year later, a man called Ashishpal Singh
delivered a reply
Ashishpal Singh @YungAshuSingh
@HardRCarr ugh I know what you mean, I get really uncomfortable
whenever I see a white man walk into a movie theater or elementary
school
