Im afraid to comment on the vest Elliott Friedman is wearing. I just got a warning for commenting on a hat. But Friedman's buttons are holding on for dear life!!! He has that vest stretched to the max
This Post intrigued me, so I scrolled back to figure out the context. I’ve always found you to be a fun, good natured & positive person and don’t think you would ever intentionally disrespect anyone based on race or religion.
With that in mind, I simply think you aren’t aware of how you might have come across. I’ve certainly made my own mistakes in expressing myself poorly, trying to joke around and missing the mark.
A couple of my close friends growing up were Sikh. I learned early that they consider their headdress a very important part of their religious & cultural identity. To make a joke about it was considered extremely offensive.
Again, I don’t think you meant to be disrespectful in a mean spirited manner. Further, I don’t think it’s fair to berate you by assuming you’re aware of the above.
I hope this doesn’t sound preachy or condescending. I’m just wanting to provide some information to help you & others who may not know much about Indian culture.
Please keep your positive energy and sense of humour. It’s one of my favourite aspects of visiting HF Oilers.
