I remember back about 24, 25? years ago around Surrey, BC, a Sikh boy claimed he had been attacked by a group of white kids that cut off his hair to dishonor him. There were searches, white people were shamed, and everyone came together to help their community. It later came out that he had cut his own hair because he wanted it to be short, but wasn't allowed due to his religion. Rather than being apologized to, we were told to feel more sorry for him because he was obviously pushed into having to do this, and it was a cry for help.
