40-year-old US Army veteran Michael Page murdered six people and injured 4 people in a Sikh

Temple. Page, a white supremacist, was covered in tattoos linking him to neo-nazi organizations and was openly involved in the “white power music scene.”

HOW DOES THIS CONNECT TO STRUCTURAL RACISM?:

Though violence against Sikhs in Wisconsin was unheard of before the shooting, many in this community said they had sensed a rise in antipathy since the attacks on Sept. 11 and suspected it was because people mistake them for Muslims.
