  Maybe in the UK, as an American I didn’t even know Sikhs existed until I was 20 and met one while trying to move to a city. I didn’t even know about the 5 Ks until today at 30, I thought the turban and suit/vest thing they wear were then major religious adornments. Then again the only Sikh I see regularly is the Canadian politician Jagmeet Singh

      Glances at the name of the community. I mean, possibly not in Burkina Faso, either.

        I think he meant that we aren’t taught about that in secondary school over here. I know Sikhs were never mentioned at my school for example. No need to call the guy a liar
