Very pleased to meet you

Please don't take this the wrong way but I find some of what you say hard to reconcile.. Whilst I fully accept that prejudice, bigotry and racism exists in the sikh community as all communities.. The scenario as described above does not ring true, 'to me' I don't understand a couple of things...
