What a terrible piece of journalism. Why weren't you concerned with the positions of the other leaders of Canada's major party's? You claim it's because he relied upon the Sikh community to win, but if that were true you would be equally concerned with the PMs position since he has appointed a record number to his cabinet. By identifying this as a "fair" question for one leader based on his visible minority status, you in effect hold him responsible for the crimes of everyone who looks like him. Your attempt at platitudes do nothing to mitigate this racially motivated bias and unsubstantiated statements like "many Canadian Sikhs hold militant views" only further reveal your prejudice. 

I'm not sure I agree with many of his policies but if you truly lament him being a victim of racism, you should consider not contributing to that problem. This is undoubtedly a sensitive issue but you could have handled it better by holding Mr. Singh to the same standard as his peers.
