the sikhs going crazy over this are overreacting big time.


it wasn't offensive and i actually thought it was funny...he found the most majestic site he could to illustrate his point...if anything sikhs should be happy the golden temple was chosen!!

Thats one way to look at it.


Another way is -

"Jay Leno is a comedian, take him with a pinch of salt," ​

[/size]

There's a LOT more worse really f**ked up shit going on in the world that needs 'getting offended' than this fading comedian.​

 

[G.O.O.D.Music]

Some people are waaaaaaaaaaay to dramatic, the dudes a comedian and he made a joke. He wasn't even directing it at Sikhs in any way, I thought it was funny.

 

[HarmanSingh]

No need to take this so seriously. He is a comedian, and made a lame joke...which didn't even attack Sikhs. To sue the guy or act like he committed some great sin is a waste of time, especially considering half the people protesting this probably watch more offensive portrayals of Sikhs in Bollywood and the Punjabi music industry.

Exactly. Sometimes, I think Sikhs go the extra yard just to take offense.

lol okay honestly as a Sikh I'm disappointed in my own community. If we're going to waste time over nonsensical issues like this about a Mitt Romney joke then we have serious problems. In the entire video, nothing was said about Sikhism or the Golden Temple. There are worse things going on in society as well as within our own community that SERIOUSLY NEED to be addressed and dealt with. lol it is absolute stupidity for people to be outraged over this because it wasn't even made out to be offensive in the first place.

 

[Sonuu]

its rediculous if people are getting mad over this. get over yourselves it was a joke. he's a comedian. go sue russell peters if you really feel that way because he's said much worse
