...[A]s a Sikh woman born and raised in Vancouver, B.C., I see the Wisconsin shooting as a tragic, extreme and horrible extension of the rising tide of racism that originated before 9/11 and proliferated afterwards...Growing up in the 1980s in a suburb of Vancouver as the daughter and sister of turbaned Sikh men, I have been all too privy to lived experiences of racism in Canada and the United States.
