Always Watching the All-Seeing Eye

 

Truth in advertising

From the Times of India, we hear that Sikhs and Hindus are taking umbrage of the British authorities lumping them in with Muslim crime with the generic "Asian" label. What's good for the Diversity Goose is good for the gander, no?

The attack on British political correctness comes nearly a fortnight after the high-profile sentencing in the Scottish city of Glasgow of three 'Asian' Muslim men who horrifically killed a young white man, Kriss Donald, in a racist attack that shocked Scotland and much of the world.

Here is what a handful of random people think about this article. But first, the fine print:
The opinions expressed here, even where approved for display, do not necessarily reflect the opinions of this website, the management, or any other entity or organization, with the exception of the Vast Zionist Conspiracy. Those opinions we represent in style, yo. Please keep the language in these comments clean, as this is intended to be a family-friendly, work-friendly website. Comments not compliant with this policy will be edited for content where necessary. Abusive or otherwise illegal comments will be reported to the proper authorities, up to and including the aforementioned Vast Zionist Conspiracy. The Management cannot and will not be held responsible for commenters making a spectacle of themselves, even if The Management are the said commenters in question. In other words, don't take yourself so seriously, folks. We're all here to discuss the news, and more importantly, to have fun. Now go get yourself into some OCD treatment program—you obviously need it if you actually read all of this mess.

*It's about time they started to disapprove of the British habit of using the term "Asian" as a substitute for "muslim".

I recently had a discussion with a (very lefty) friend of mine who now lives in the UK. She told me that a study showed that 10% of young UK muslims approve of honor killing. It turns out that Sikhs, Christians, and Hindus were included in the sample, but she assumed "Asian" meant "Muslim".
