Silicon valley has a massive indian community that also discriminates among their own (see the issue with dalit/caste), so not surprised that they would censor the murder of the Sikh leader
- That is a lie! My Brahmin friends have told me that only racists would claim otherwise.

These aren’t saints, they are an ethonationalist group that planted a bomb on Air India Flight 182, and another one was planned for Flight 103 but blew up prematurely.
- What? Could you clarify for someone OOTL with some sources if you're gonna make a statement like that?
  
  If you have 42 minutes to spare, here’s a video
- Ah yes. Characterizing an entire population by the acts of the most extreme. Always accurate.
  "Canadians aren't saints. They're a conquesting and genocidal people who wiped out an entire population of natives and continue to marginalize those who are left." And going by your argument, this means we shouldn't feel too bad if any of them get assassinated?
  
  He's not talking about an entire population, khalistan supporters are a minority in the Sikh community and have almost no support among the Sikhs actually living in India. These people were literally calling for the murders of Indian diplomats within Canada just a few months ago. Just like isis isn't a fair representation of all muslims, khalistanis are not a fair representation of all Sikhs.
