Sikhs stuck out visibly. These lot hated the visual change, as well as 'olfactory' changes happening in their midst. They would go mental at the mere smell of a 'ruby murray" being cooked in a neighbourhood! lol Turbans and 'sarees' were also objects of hate. Seriously. Muslim women rarely had any hijabs on back then, whilst most Sikh girls were taught to always cover your head with a chunni and many, if not most, wore salwaar kameez even to school (funny how things change). The version of sullahism that is common today (with the visual clothing thing for men and women) didn't start emerging until the late 80s. 
Even when they were the NF, there was serious ground level support for these guys. The police protected them from prosecution and arrest. Tories largely turned a blind eye to them, many secretly liking what they were attempting to do. Even today, their ideas have much greater support than anyone growing up post mid 90s would believe. These people didn't go away. They worked themselves in positions of power and raised their own children. They will crawl out of the crack work if they feel it is safe enough, otherwise they work from protected positions in organisations - that's why you get so many accusations of racism in workplaces. That's why it needs to be relentlessly challenged and pursued like BLM do. 
I think I'm talking about ratios of of keshdharis and monay, there were a higher relative amount of keshdharis then - ratio wise if you get what I'm saying. Most fathers had paghs (not all though). The African crew were heavily paghed and proud of their pointy style as more stylish than the perceived pendu Patiala one. Some younger people from nonAfrican backgrounds started to wear the african style too.  There were mainly desi's here and many had dastars, the older African lot did as well, and they were more strict about their kids having paghs - but they weren't a big number compared to the amount of desis here. 

@dalsingh101 a lot of the younger whites now have grown up around/with coloured people and have friends who might be half white/half ethnic or their partner is .
Especially those in urban/suburban areas. 
I know that there are some places like Dagenham that are 'volatile' and maybe  especially some places up North. 
How do you generally see the generation who are in their 30's now who are in the generation below you compared to the older generation who grew up with you ? 
And do you see any general differences in society compared to 10 years ago regarding race relations and racism ? I personally don't see much difference but I'm not really a 'street person' lol

From working in construction I'd say that many aren't overtly racist (some are though) but what they do do, is turn a consistent blind eye to subtle racism taking place under their nose. 
They still have that sense of privilege where subtle undermining of ethnics is a norm. They just aren't as overtly racist as the older lot, but they fall in line to those older lot though. And it doesn't matter if they have ethnic partners or half-ethnic relatives most of the time. 

I was talking to an old friend I was on a psychology course with well over a decade ago recently, and we were talking about a unit we did on sexual abuse, and how, when the lecturer ( a renown expert on the field) told us how common bisexuality is in the indigenous population - couldn't believe it! I believe it now. 

Look, even more coming out of the lamaari:
 

You know me bro. I just don't believe it. Lol.

A police officer accused of multiple rapes appeared in court today charged with nine new charges against four women.
PC David Carrick, 47, has been charged with another nine offences, meaning in total he is accused of 29 crimes against eight women between 2009 and 2020.
Carrick, of Stevenage, Hertfordshire, had appeared in court in December accused of crimes relating to four alleged victims, but he has now been charged with additional offences linked to another four women.
The latest charges are six counts of rape, one count of attempted rape, one count of assault by penetration and one count of coercive and controlling behaviour between 2009 and 2018.
Until his arrest the defendant had been based within the Met Police's Parliamentary and Diplomatic Protection Command, but Carrick has now been suspended from duty. 
Carrick, wearing a grey suit, tie and black face mask, appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court today via a video-link from HMP Belmarsh, speaking only to confirm his name and date of birth.   

He was represented by Patrick Hill, while Natalie Carter appeared on behalf of the Crown Prosecution Service.
Senior District judge Paul Goldspring remanded Carrick in custody ahead of a mention hearing at St Albans Crown Court on January 28.
Due to their severity, the charges were sent by Chief Magistrate Paul Goldspring to St Albans Crown Court, where Carrick will next appear on January 28.
A provisional trial date has been set for April.
Carrick has already appeared at St Alban's Crown Court last month on different charges, where it was claimed he had raped one woman he met on dating app Tinder, falsely imprisoned another in a cupboard under the stairs, and sexually assaulted three of the complainants by urinating on them.

The 29 counts that he is now facing are: 13 counts of rape, five counts of sexual assault, three counts of assault by penetration, three counts of coercive and controlling behaviour, two counts of false imprisonment, one count of attempted rape, one count of attempted sexual assault by penetration and one count of causing a person to engage in sexual activity without consent.
Peter Burt, Senior District Crown Prosecutor for CPS Thames and Chiltern, said earlier this week: 'Following an ongoing investigation by Hertfordshire Constabulary, with continued support from the CPS, we have now charged David Carrick with a total of 29 alleged offences against eight women.
'We remind all concerned that criminal proceedings against the defendant are active and that he has a right to a fair trial. It is extremely important that there should be no reporting, commentary or sharing of information online which could in any way prejudice these proceedings.'

..you ready for your booster shot honey?  Just doing my part to defeat covid.  What this on the table? Drs orders!

Well ..at least when you take your mask off there's somewhere to hang it. 
Covid gets cured by some random things. Hypothetically.  I've heard, sukha, cocaine, alcohol now viagra? I guess the party lot are just gonna cruise through covid. 
 

There is no 'pure iron' bhai ji. The nearest is cast iron, and that is brittle as hell, not strong. 

I think it stands for purified iron. But linguistically I'm in the short bus. 

That's a lie they tell to make you shave and keep keshdharis out professions. Full beards have always worked with gas masks. Worst case you vaseline your beard. Solved. 

Absolutely. According to our documents. Forgive me. I just saw your post. 
Really the whole world can only aspire to Sikhi. But yes, Sikhs are more american than americans by americas measure. 

So you would say that devout Sikhs are more "American" than Christian or Atheist Americans?

Most likely, there is no conflict between Gurbanis, but if there is, then Sri Aad Gurbani will take precedence.

Good point, especially when it comes to physical aspects of Rehat. We might need to adapt, whenever needed for the Panth.
One possible example. Don't the fire fighters (especially the forest ones) have to be clean shaven in order for their masks to properly stick to their faces? If that is true, basically, it will be the Sehajdhari Sikhs who will end up doing these kinds of jobs (or sewa) for the Panth.

But, majority of the Sikhs back in the 70's and 80's were Sehajdharis right?
 
Bhul chuk maaf

Why is that? They hated us more than the Moslems?
 
Bhul chuk maaf

A bit off-topic, but to add to your point. Atheism might also be on a rise in our community. If that happens, you can definitely bet on Bhangra becoming very big among Punjabis in the future.

How's this bro?

Nihang Baba jee (in the video below) seems to be having a gun and a hunter's knife (maybe) like a Ninja.
