Do BROWN people face the WORST racism?

I think they do. Ever since 9/11, it's not just brown-Muslims that have been treated like dirt, but also Sikhs and Hindus (many Americans seem to think brown = terrorist) - hence the Sikh temple shooting, people confuse Sikhs for Muslims.

As a Hindu, I've felt awful racism. I've been called 'Muslim bomber' and that's just ONE name, and I'm not even Muslim, I'm hindu.

I really think many people are IGNORANT to how bad brown people get treated these days, remember the new Hindu Miss America? She was blasted for being an 'arab' terrorist despite the fact that she was an Indian.

I've seen White-muslims get off free, but brown ones haven't and it's sickening.

What makes it worse is the majority of people who are racist to brown people and that are Christian, don't even know that Jesus was brown (he was born in the Middle-East).

    i live in a very saturated indo canadian community in canada but when i went to visit family in new York with my family we faced a lot of racism we are practicing sikhs so my brothers and father wear turbans and so many people gave us weird looks and some even said rude things to us like racial slurs and foul language it really hurt me and the funny thing is when i went shopping with my cousin we didnt experience any of this because we dont look particularly "brown" i would say... having hazel eyes and tan skin makes me look more mixed ethnicity than anything else so i was treated well being from a community so familiar with sikhs it was shocking i wish people werent so narrow minded

    Hindus are doing the same or rather worst possible treatment to their own people in the name of casteism for last 5000 years.

    The Bible tells us that Jesus had feet as bronze and hair as wool. I could not paint Him as white. The Native American part of me says, I understand. The white part of me says, I am sorry.

    Where ever you go on earth, the groups that are in the minority will face the most racism.
