jonathansemrok/iStock/Thinkstock(EDMONTON, Canada) — The University of Alberta found a unique way of responding to a racist incident.
Students and faculty were shocked when someone put up posters of a Sikh man with the phrase “F*** your Turban” and wanted to do something to flight such blatant racism.
Rafaela Mancuso and hundreds of others put together and event called “Turban, eh?”
“This is more than I thought, they brought everyone,” Mancuso said.
People of many ethnic backgrounds had colorful Sikh turbans wound around their heads.
“Right now, we’re putting forward our vision of Canada, and I feel our vision is a little more popular than theirs,” fellow organizer Arundeep Singh Sandhu said.
University of Alberta President David Turpin said the event better represents the school and the country.
The university is still trying to find out who was responsible for the anti-immigrant posters.
