Define or be defined : South Asian is a racist reductive repressive term

As a proud Sikh Canadian woman, I am reminded of the profound truth that if we do not define ourselves, someone else will I resolutely oppose the term "South Asian," a label that fails to honor our unique Sikh heritage. It is not simply a matter of inaccurate categorization; it symbolizes the erasure of our cultural identity, echoing colonial oversimplification. We refuse to let our children be labeled as 'South Asian' rather than Sikh Canadian. This term, inherently racist, reductive, and repressive, diminishes our rich cultural narrative. This is a rallying cry for recognition and action, urging us to celebrate our diversity and assert our identities within the Canadian mosaic.

 I am  a sikh Canadian .
I am not South Asian period.
