Racists trashed a Sikh-owned Indian restaurant in Santa Fe, NM, scrawling hate speech like "F*CK ISIS" and "I HATE SAND N*****S"

It just breaks your heart. Immigrants come with dreams in their hearts. They work so hard. And this is how they're treated. It's just not right.

Among the items stolen or damaged include supplies that they would use to create weekly care packages for downtown’s unhoused population, including food, hygiene products, and cash out of their own pockets.

Unsurprisingly, the racists invoked the racist-in-chief in their vandalism of the restaurant.

Tr*mp is destroying this country. We must do everything we can to vote his ass out of office.

How sad.

In 2001, Narendra Singh Kloty's mother made him a red, white, and blue turban as a way to protect him from racist violence after 9/11.

In 2020, racists destroyed his restaurant and announced their hate for him with racial slurs.

Thanks to all of you who have offered to donate. I'm trying to confirm the current gofundme page is legitimate. I'll post it when I receive word back that it's legit and that the family has agreed to accept donations.

It’s easy to feel demoralized when we witness hate. It helps to remember that there are so many kind people out there who truly care.

Here’s just a sample of the messages we’ve been seeing all day of people pouring out their love following the hateful attack in New Mexico.

Update: I spoke to the family. They asked me to share that they are not yet ready to receive donations and to refrain from setting up or donating to accounts on their behalf.

They also asked me to share that they are overwhelmed by all your support and feel very grateful.
