America is known as the melting pot of the world. You can find immigrants and their descendants scattered throughout the country, from sea to shining sea. There are countless languages, countless colors, cultures, creeds. And yet even in New York, the most diverse city in the country, Americans still have a very narrow perspective of what an American should look like. Enter Sikh Captain America. A political cartoonist created the character after witnessing hate crimes against Sikhs in India and the United States. He took it to a Comic Con, sparked conversations there, and decided to bring it to life by having someone dress up as Captain America (with a turban): himself. ‘Red, White, and Beard’ is a quirky, lighthearted glance into Sikh Captain America and the man behind this growing phenomenon. The more he brings the character to the people, the more he hopes they recognize their own prejudices toward Sikhs and other religious, ethnic, and cultural minorities. But is the public only respecting the superhero figure, or do they truly realize what the artist is saying?
