Beware, Indian people may also be targeted by the uneducated , because they all look the same right?

The doctored image was posted in the aftermath of last Friday’s terror attack and spread not just around the forums and twitter feeds but into the mainstream media.

"This episode highlights the casual racism that often blights people’s attitudes around perceived threats. Veerender was targeted partly because of a deliberate, knowing and “satirical” lumping together of different non-white appearances under the heading “islamic terrorist”. It is completely clueless but can have devastating consequences.

When fanatical white supremacist Zack Davies used a machete and hammer to try and kill Dr Sandarev Singh Bhambra in supposed revenge for the murder of Lee Rigby, it was the Sikh dentist’s “ethnic appearance” that made him a target. Not one to let facts get in the way of his murderous bloodlust, Davies said he attacked Dr Bhambra “for the whites” and told police: “It’s kind of like Europe’s under siege”.
