Damn, people. This shit is still happening. Got this enraging news passed along to me in an alert from the Sikh American Legal Defense and Education Fund... Last week in Sterling, Virginia, a Sikh American family received a letter, addressed to "Turban Family,", asking them to "leave the country" under threat of death. Here's a photo of the letter:
And here's the text:
Mr.,According to SALDEF, this isn't the first time this family has been the target of hate crimes. What do people suck so much? Why can't these perpetrating racist assholes just leave a poor family alone? It's infuriating. More here: Sikh American Family Receives Death Threat
Our People in the neighborhood have been closely watching your activities and figured out you are a close associate of a secret Taliban movement on the US Soil.
We ask you to leave the country as soon as possible otherwise one of our people is going to shoot you dead. Don't attempt to relocate somewhere else in America as people are closely monitoring your day to day activities.
SALDEF urges all Sikh Americans to immediately report any incidents of harassment, bullying or assault to SALDEF and your local authorities.
