      @sweetnspicy66 It's okay to assimilate to non-racist parts of white culture. Just avoid the racism. It's entirely possible to do this!

      @HeerJeet @sweetnspicy66 just to be clear: is converting to Christianity inconsistent with that? That seems to be what you suggest

      @ChanceBGardener @sweetnspicy66 Converting to Christianity is fine as long as it doesn't include bigotry to other faiths

      @HeerJeet @sweetnspicy66 how to explain the critique of Haley? Publicly presenting as Christian means she has 'erased ethnic identity'

      @sweetnspicy66 @ChanceBGardener I don't think it's healthy to disavow one's family & heritage.

      @HeerJeet @ChanceBGardener celebrate or participate in is no one's business but my own! So once again liberals are trying to tell people how

      @HeerJeet @sweetnspicy66 the proper way to be a Sikh in America is something you can prescribe; there are rules and roles!

      @ChanceBGardener @sweetnspicy66 There are many ways to be Sikh but hiding your past is sad.

          @HeerJeet @sweetnspicy66 meanwhile, she doesn't have a "past", she has an ethnicity, which she participates in as most Americans do
