Maybe, but Sangeeth is not here to tell us if they are Sikh or not, so it's hard to say.

I think it's unfortunate that (at the time of writing) the comments about the product and its effectiveness are ranked lower than this discussion about the _possibility_ that a non-Sikh person has been represented as Sikh.

If Sangeeth themselves had popped up in this thread to comment on the choice of emoji, then sure, but it's just somebody making some assumptions based on a 't' vs 'th' cluster in the name.

Sangeeth is not a Sikh name. In India people don't convert to Sikhism, or at least I'm a middle-aged Indian and I've lived here all my life, I've never seen it happen. There's a certain foreign subculture of Americans converting to Sikhism, but then they take on Sikh names. It's extremely improbable that Sangeeth is a Sikh person.

Oh I agree, the lesson learned should be: let's not spend our attention on race and identity because it leads to these bizarre situations among many other things. I barely understand how we ended up like this.

Yes, such as stop fixating so much on race or ethnicity and instead appreciate the product for what it is.

Thank you. I didn't find the energy to put it into words when I first commented. I yearn for this world.
