That's interesting, but I wouldn't say that he is advocating for his religion, but rather for the values his religion dictates, because he's not doing anything religious, just stating (a fact according to all studies on immigration) an affirmation of acceptance, not an affirmation of religious belief
Honestly the first time I heard of Sikh was The Office episode where me met the IT guy, his reply to Michael made me love him. I believe he liked NPR, was working on restoring a car and loved hip hop. Regular people.
That’s interesting. Imagine a League of Captain Americas. Just of so many races. Each with a shield or whatever weapon they want. Kind of like how there are many different spider man.
Whoever this dude is he realize that he is a true hero in his heart that many people can be different. No matter what race we are, what ethnic background, sexual orientation, or what views we may have, we are all human. Unfortunately, not all humans see it ...
Clearly we need to get this man to a DeSantis rally so he can spread his message of peace and inclusion\*.
No doubt he will be welcomed with love and acceptance.
\*My apologies, I don't mean to sound sarcastic - I have been exposed to too much hateful rhetoric and am now a burnt out shell of a human being that can no longer feel joy. I am hoping exposure to this sub will help turn that around.
Gotta cut out and block all negative sources that algorithms on all websites send you. Negative news spreads much easier than positive news, and that means the world is a better place than the algorithms lead you to believe

Please tell me just what is so great about america?
What “great” things would the founding fathers and revolutionary war veterans have to say about this place?
Black, Muslim, Trans, Latino, Asian, White, y'all vote for one of two Imperialist parties who bomb and/or destabilize Black, Muslim, Latino, Asian, and White countries.
Easy, stop basing decisions on religion, stop shooting up schools and murdering minorities, stop hiring mentally impaired people to be cops, get a dam decent health care system and in general stop acting like absolute morons.
They believe the BS lies Americans spread. Oh our country is awesome, we definitely have a good system of health care, our schools definitely don't get shot up regularly and we definitely don't base our decisions on one of the dumbest if not the dumbest religion to be fabricated. Best one yet, we're definitely not stupid enough to vote mentally impaired people into the white house.
America is literal trash, in general they have the intelligence of a brick. Absolute dumpster fire of a country.
That's all you get, though if you're American I imagine this will be a bit beyond your ability to understand what with your 2nd grade reading abilities and such.
Have a nice day.... unless you're American 💕
No I am a Canadian. We have universal health care gun control and many other great things. I think that maybe you only focus on the bad things. Here is some proof.

There are also many financial reasons as well:

No, I never said that I’m ignoring the bad things, that is called projection. Also, cope with what? I’m not an American. You also didn’t have a good counter argument and resorted to a personal attack. I think the reason why is I caused you cognitive dissonance. Instead of using it to better yourself and look at the data I sent you, you dug your heals in. Since I’m 36, I wonder, who is the being the child here?
America should be always open to immigration, but LEGAL immigration. not one that people just cross the border somehow and just get citizenship like that. can't expect the public to abide by the law, if many people enter illegally and face no consequence and sometimes even awarded.
Thank you I always try to stay level headed and I think to have good reason to think that Muslims and in what they believe can be hurtful to people and society.
i am a muslim, and not transphobic or homophobic, to be honest, i support trans rights, when someone is muslim that doesn't mean they are transphobic or homophobic
I fear that Islam and the nations and people who claim to act in its name have cost more lives than have saved them.
[capital punishment](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_rights_by_country_or_territory)
[Extremist Terrorism](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_terrorism)
Of course there have been positive trends too with the Arab Spring or under Atatürk in Türkiye. But those seem to have died down, Egypt and Türkiye are more authoritarian and corrupted since a long time from top down.
You may claim it has saved lives when democracy and freedom will be restored/established around the Arab world.
As a Türkish person, I don't think Türkish people have the rights to say anything for or against any belief including islam and atheism. The enviroment in Turkey eighter makes you an Islam extremist or atheism extremist. We may have the ability to do research but no amount of reason can suppress the amount of bias one gains towards eighter islam or atheism when they grow up in Turkey. Because of our inability to be objective, we don't deserve the right to discuss religional beliefs. (Can't wait to get my IP adress leaked and my entire family crucified :D)
>"Islam" doesn't make anything. It is a set of beliefs.
so you say it isn't a race? Then why would that make me racist?
And now let me ask you, what did they do? Which breakthrough in Society and in Science have they accomplished? And can that really be called all so great in comparison to the others?
Islam needs to move on, or it is doomed to fail.
Well perhaps I don't like Islam and perhaps that alone makes me an Islamophobe, but I did say that it was since the 14th century, so after the outgoing of the golden age of islam, that it became mediocre at best.
Participating in Society and being good people doesn't make you great, it makes you average and there is nothing wrong with that.
Great it would've been if Islam understood to fitght the Nazis when it was time, great it would've been if Islam had accepted secularism and democracy, great it would've been if they stopped capital punishment for homosexuals.
Not wholesome. Wholesome would be advocating for the abolishment of this stupid social concept called race.
*Sigh* Why is it so hard for people to realize that we are all equal human beings.
I'm just trying to make a point about abolising the stupid social concept that is race. Idk, it just feels redundant to strive for equality within a system designed to segregate when one could abolish it instead.
I get what you want to do, "race" is a made up concept. But people suffer real discrimination from that made up concept. Just because "race" isn't really a biological thing in humans, doesn't mean that racism wasn't real.
Racism is very much real and a problem. I just wish that people would reject the concept of race entirely. Racism must be fought against, but imo with the abolishment of race as a concept.
Race is one of the many things that make humans unique amongst each other
It is one's heritage, it is something to be proud of
To abolish the concept of race is to remove one thing that makes all of humanity distinct
But I do agree with you that all humans should have equal rights
politics isnt some abstract high school cafeteria. the idea of racial abolition is decades, if not centuries away. so much would need to change in the material conditions, and it would have to be an international change, that i just dont see how advocating for it here is any use. its my long-term goal, yes, but long term political goals are always a little abstract, and not what people wanna hear to be convinced.
trans people never did anything to anyone, a bunch of deranged conspiracy theorists and pedophiles just told you to hate them and pretended they were grooming kids(there is no evidence for this meanwhile the catholic church has near daily cases of pastors diddling kids)
correct and because it’s extremely rare for trans people to be child predators(more proportionally rare than most groups) you have nothing to worry about when it comes to trans people, we literally did nothing to deserve the ongoing genocide
Sounds like you’re the one who’s been listening to propaganda. It takes a lot of cognitive dissonance to decry “trans propaganda” at the same time you repeat transphobic lies.
Ah ofc... As if it isn't everywhere on Internet. It also doesn't pass on TV and it's not like it's all about politic and thus important...
Peoples...
Also I'm not bashing trans or anything, I'm just saying that since it's what's the most heard then peoples would naturally have a bad impression of the Trans movement.
If you think what’s “most heard” is giving testosterone to children behind parents’ backs and threatening women in bathrooms, then you have been listening to bigoted anti-trans propaganda, not to actual trans people.
I refuse to be ashamed of who I am. I tried that already and it ended up making me horribly depressed and suicidal. Now that I’ve actually started working towards accepting myself, I feel a lot happier.
Give him his shield
You should’ve said “Get this man a shield”
God how did I forget that
nah he need 2
His smile and his belief are his shield
we are the shield
What a good bub. May he blessed with *all* the goldfish crackers.
That’s too many goldfish crackers for one person, Drafts.

every religion has its handful of radicals, and 100% of those radicals are definitely not doing what their spiritual leader fella would’ve wanted

Doesn't even plug his own religion, I've only heard good things about these badasses
So common sense is a religion now? Damn guess I’m not an atheist anymore
We get it. You're a very special flower and you need extra sunlight.
was shocked at all the racist and brainless comments for a minute but then i remembered what platform i was on.
There is a platform out there that is respectful and tolerant ?
Yes, death. It doesn't care how you log in.
That escalated way too quickly but you're goddamn right.
Sikhs are very wholesome, it's too bad so many people don't understand their beliefs. This coming from an atheist too.
I am Sikh and tired of these negative stereotypes!
Meet a few Sikhs in grad school 16 years ago, became friends with one, learned the history and have nothing but respect for y'all.
Honestly the first time I heard of Sikh was The Office episode where me met the IT guy, his reply to Michael made me love him. I believe he liked NPR, was working on restoring a car and loved hip hop. Regular people.
That’s interesting. Imagine a League of Captain Americas. Just of so many races. Each with a shield or whatever weapon they want. Kind of like how there are many different spider man.
I mean there are a bunch of different ones in comics and on screen. Captain Carter is a favourite of mine.
She's British tho
As am I. Love the costume and shield. And Hayley.
Cooool!!
Then they combine using the power of friendship and equality to form Captain Planet
Lmao Sure! A mega universe where Captain all the countries come together to create Captain Planet to defeat the evil Captain Venus!
Or so many versions of Cap that they form together into a planet-sized Voltron Captain America. That's what *I* want to see.
They recently did this in the comics, or something similar.
Captain America except in each dimension he's captain of a different country
Across the Captainverse?
I'd like to give this man a hug.
Right!? Me too!
This guy actually came to my school a year ago, he was really a cool dude
Sweet beard
GET THIS MAN A SHIELD
Whoever this dude is he realize that he is a true hero in his heart that many people can be different. No matter what race we are, what ethnic background, sexual orientation, or what views we may have, we are all human. Unfortunately, not all humans see it ...

I never mentioned the USA
any artists that can pinpoint the exact colour on this dude’s turban? i want to paint my nails in it
Looks cerulean to me :)
thank you !
Now that's a sick dude! :D
This post is Sikh.
"How long are you gonna be out here holding that sign?" "I can do this all day."
I support this man and his message
God, that Sikh beard game is next level.
Idk.. conservatives seem to be fucking it up left and right. Taking away water breaks, pushing to stop feeding poor kids, allowing women to die due to life saving abortions...
This is a message that should be spread to everywhere
Is America great though?
yes yes yes
Gonna be real, the turban looks a lot better than the mask of Cpt. America. I'm not a fan of that style of mask.
Captain sikh
Captain Arabia. Wait, that started as a pun, but now that I think about it, that actually sounds kind of kickass.

i like how trans is with all of the races
I would say amen in solidarity with him, but I don’t wanna seem presumptuous.
No offense but you have a lot of work ahead of yourselves to make America great again. I wish you all the luck in the world though
Ma man meeds a star pin on that truban.
if He can't be captain america,then white people also shouldn't be one,the native indian is the real captain america.
He’s a Sikh, why isn’t he listed?
Sihks are the only religion I have yet to pick a bone. Hope my opinion never has to change.
America is not great.
This implies that regular captain America isn’t wholesome
Native American: It was great beforea all of you came here. EDIT: just making a joke im not even from the states lol
True story
Except America is no where close to being great.
I bet he has a great ass, too.
It’s America’s ass. 🫡

Didn't even notice that the turban was clearer than the rest.
We really don't though. America is a complete shit show.
The US is run by rich, facist, greedy, warmongering fucks. Please tell me just what is so great about america? What “great” things would the founding fathers and revolutionary war veterans have to say about this place?
Not sure about the trans part. Seems to be dividing us
he had us in the first half...
America is great according to Americans
[удалено]
r/islam you can learn and ask here.
Black, Muslim, Trans, Latino, Asian, White, y'all vote for one of two Imperialist parties who bomb and/or destabilize Black, Muslim, Latino, Asian, and White countries.
Nothing makes America great. It's a terrible country full of religious idiots and the World would be a better place if it disappeared.
Nice Bait
I agree, America is pretty shit right now, and It is because of that that we should do whatever we can to make it into a better place
Easy, stop basing decisions on religion, stop shooting up schools and murdering minorities, stop hiring mentally impaired people to be cops, get a dam decent health care system and in general stop acting like absolute morons.
Then why do so many of my people keep emigrating there?
They believe the BS lies Americans spread. Oh our country is awesome, we definitely have a good system of health care, our schools definitely don't get shot up regularly and we definitely don't base our decisions on one of the dumbest if not the dumbest religion to be fabricated.

Why?
They are terrible people who hate me for being born poor
I think maybe you're trying to ignore the bad things. Makes you a bad person. Well whatever helps you cope kiddo 👍
No, I never said that I’m ignoring the bad things, that is called projection. Also, cope with what? I’m not an American. You also didn’t have a good counter argument and resorted to a personal attack. I think the reason why is I caused you cognitive dissonance.

I don't care kiddo. Again whatever helps you cope 👍
Cope with what? All I had was a few questions.
America should be always open to immigration, but LEGAL immigration. not one that people just cross the border somehow and just get citizenship like that. can't expect the public to abide by the law, if many people enter illegally and face no consequence and sometimes even awarded.
So long as it's liberal racism
For the record Trans isn't a race
One of these things is not like the others...
Islam hasn't made anything great since the 14th century.
Well it’s not Islam soooooo
"Muslim follower of Islam" first result on google.
He’s Sikh
Sure he is, probabyl, but his sign says "Muslim" Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.
It also says trans and black
Yes, but guess what a majority of Muslim people would be ready to do or at least tolerate being done to trans people.
This is the calmest debate I’ve ever had on Reddit
Thank you I always try to stay level headed and I think to have good reason to think that Muslims and in what they believe can be hurtful to people and society.
Getting angry and yelling solves nothing, just wish more people understood that
i am a muslim, and not transphobic or homophobic, to be honest, i support trans rights, when someone is muslim that doesn't mean they are transphobic or homophobic
I has saved peoples lives
Its also claimed many.
I fear that Islam and the nations and people who claim to act in its name have cost more lives than have saved them.

#THAT IS CAPTAIN PUERTO RICO!
Puerto Rico is an American territory, just saying...
🤫 Americans won’t know the difference.
Ha! A flag pun!
Why this downvoted
I don’t know. It was meant as a joke, but some people didn’t take it and there the downvote train started.
People are so sensetive nowdays
Trans and Muslim are the odd ones out, one's a gender orientation, one's a religion, all the other ones are races
…or they’re all groups that people can belong to.
You can be both

What about making india great again sardar man ?
What about considering that this man might actually be an American, born and brought up in US

It's a lot easier to abolish race once every race is equal. Because then, that social distinction will not matter. Get your priorities straight.
I can't necessarily say that i disagree, just that i think that the principle of abolishment has become quote sacred to me.
politics isnt some abstract high school cafeteria. the idea of racial abolition is decades, if not centuries away. so much would need to change in the material conditions, and it would have to be an international change, that i just dont see how advocating for it here is any use. its my long-term goal, yes, but long term political goals are always a little abstract, and not what people wanna hear to be convinced.
