The Shooting at the Sikh Temple in Wisconsin

1. The murders at the Sikh Temple in Wisconsin are a tragedy. They make me sad.2. I do not know a lot about what the motives are.
3. Many people will not think it is a tragedy because they hate Sikhs; that is to say that they want to hurt Sikhs. This is more extreme than anti-Sikh-ism, which is the belief that Sikhs are bad, as individuals and as a group. Anti-Sikh-ism itself is more extreme than realism, which may identify the ways in which Sikhs as a group are different from other religious groups. It is wrong to say that racism is only the belief that it is bad to be a member of another race. Firstly because that does not conform to the usual dictionary definitions based on common use. Secondly, because the belief that one group of people is worse than another group of people still hurts the feelings of people in that group, and still enables the racial hatred of that group by people who are outside of it, even if they profess neutrality or even admiration for a handful of people within the hated group.
