The massacre of Sikhs in Oak Creek is not “senseless.” It is a predictable consequence of a society where racism and bigotry has been allowed to fester, magnified by the officially sanctioned demonization of Arabs, Muslims and others of Persian and Asian descent. By virtue of their skin color, religion and clothing, people from these groups are perceived as a supposed “threat” to security, and they are scapegoated as part of the so-called “war on terror” carried out by both parties.
