There is Manjit Kairo Singh, an Indian from the northern state of Punjab who wears a turban, a sign of his Sikh faith. He doesn't mind when customers ask him where he's from, just the other assumptions.

"They asking me, 'When are you from, Afghanistan?' because I have a turban always," says the 53-year-old Glen Burnie resident. "They say, 'You Taliban?' I say, 'No, I'm from India. Sikh. We are not Muslim.' I teach them."

But Singh doesn't regret coming here. "U.S. is the best country in the world," he says. "Everything is the best." [Link]
