Sukhpreet Singh Update

September 27, 2007 @ 09:57

Over the past twenty four hours I've been thinking about what I heard on the John Oakley Show yesterday and I've been doing a slow burn.

One of Oakley's guests was Sukhpreet Singh of the Canadian Organization of Sikh Students. Singh has emerged as one of the most vocal in calling for the demolition of Bruce Allen.

During his flippant and arrogant interview yesterday Singh called into question Canadian culture. He used the same tired argument that there is no such thing as Canadian culture a debate I won't even enter in to.

Canadian culture isn't so much a visual thing, something you can see or touch or wear or even describe. It's more a feeling, a spirit, a way of life that Canadians cherish and want to protect.

But it means nothing to Sukhpreet Singh who on the Oakley Show dismissed Canadian culture as nothing more than hockey and the word "eh."

A cutting description that Singh as a minority in Canada will get away with, but also a description that leaves you wondering what the reaction would be if the roles were reversed.

What if a someone wrote off Indian culture as nothing more than turbans and curry? I'm sure the reaction would be much different.

Sukpreet Singh exposed himself yesterday. He exposed himself as the intolerant racist that he's accused Bruce Allen of being.

There was a distinct attitude to Singh's interview yesterday. He's got an agenda, an agenda of promoting his culture and beliefs at the expense of anything that stands in his way, even if it means a double standard.

I got the impression yesterday that Sukhpreet Singh doesn't like Canada or Canadians and he's playing the system to get his way.

Sukhpreet Singh, you're a racist. How do you like that?

Well said Fred,. Mr Singh is a racist no better than some KKK member burning a cross on a Black familys front lawn.

Damn right Fred! The guy is a racist!
My family and I have been living here since 1989, and we proudly tell people we are canadian.
My entire family learnt english, and five years after arriving here we became citizens. You should see the hoops and obstacles we had to jump through before we were granted the landed immigrant visa. We had to be tested on Canadian history and geography, as well as english tests and several medical exams. Somehow, I think Mr. Singh and his family might have skipped all those crucial steps, which I think are in place to help build a foundation of respect and appreciation for the nation that you are hoping will adopt you. What I find more disgusting and perplexing is the possibility that Mr. Singh was most likely born in Canada, like so many other ungrateful people who have never been to their parents' "home" land, yet will intensely desecrate Canada. We need some iron-fist-like measures like the ones taken in The Netherlands, for example, where if you are not fluent in the language, or wear a vail or a turbant (and refuse to take it off) you are not allowed residency...Period!

James - racism is wrong on both sides, but comparing him to the KKK is a bit dramatic. Debate is a healthy exercise that can lead to results. Painting him with the same brush as terrorists is not helping anybody.

Lew you're right. I sometimes get a little incensed and don't use my personal editor appropriately. I could have been more discrete. But I have to say I'm NOT that far off. People like Mr. Singh are VERY quick to demand there “Rights” and speak their mind . Not so much to defend my rights or to listen if I speak mine. And not very quick to defend your Rights either Lew.


LEW
September 27, 2007 / 11:49

James - you are correct as well, extremists on both sides of the issue will not defend my rights, they will only create a greater divide; my hope is that the common folk of East Indian decent will defend me as much as I would them.
Peace

Juan, you are a true, glorious Canadian. I hope your life here is every bit as wonderful as you hoped it would be as you and your family jumped through hoops to come here.

Very well said, Fred. Racist is a strong word, and used all too often for the wrong reasons (remember Dudley Laws)... I certainly take exception to the narrow minded comment Singh made about the canadian culture being nothing more than Hockey and the word Eh .. he totally forgot about ice fishing !! Seriously, if that is all he can see into our culture, then he is the one with the problem.

Mr. Singh you embody the word racist. I nominate you as the poster boy for racism and strongly encourage you to wear your new badge of honor proudly.

As a non-visible minority I am sick and tired of it all. Go home Mr. Singh, you and your kind are not welcome in Canada.

Mr. Sing confirmed yesterday on the John Oakley show that he is indeed Canadian born.

Personally, I don't really give a flying fig, where he was born. If he doesn't like it here, leave.

Too bad we are completely helpless in communicating how we really feel about this guy to the point that it would even bother him. I am sure if Mr. Singh was aware or read this blog he would just be sitting back not giving a shit about any of it. Its just really too bad.

Fred,

Indian identity: turbans, curry, call centres and "sacred" cows.

Ummmm.... beef.

I like beef. I am Canadian.

Good work Freddie, keep on exposing the racists for what they are regardless of colour or country of origin.

So my namesake doesn't appreciate Canadian culture despite the fact that he his Canadian. Does that make him racist?

No. It's still sad though.

As part of the New World, Canadian culture is quite new and from my perspective, sitting in the UK, it's less different from my culture than German culture.

But Canadian culture still exists and given how many Canadians seem to be such decent human beings, over time Canadian culture will only get stronger. Like all Canadians, the other Sukhpreet is lucky to be one!

I think Juan is way out of line when he suggests that those who wear veils and turbans should not be allowed residency. Should people who cannot spell veil and turban correctly be denied residency? Juan, relax and be more Canadian!

how bouts we blog site moderators get rid of junk comments? There are news flashes niche sites I see that enable comments; the comments are so infested with trolls and garbage, I no more bother analyzing the comments. Do erase the rubbish. Not anyone will miss it; always slice out the tangents individuals take.
