The links worked fine for me. What I found strange was that, to my ear, the Sikh being interviewed was obviously an American Caucasian convert to the faith rather than an ethnic sub-continental Sikh who had immigrated to the US. Not quite sure how his experience could be presumed to be consistent with someone with different skin and accent characteristics.

Hi Carlos,
I am the person they interviewed. I am not a convert to the faith but a person whose parents immigrated to the U.S. from India in the 1970s. I was raised in the U.S., so I speak with an American accent.

Thanks, Amardeep, for dropping by and reminding us that the world is sometimes more complex than our "obvious" categories might suggest!
