Sikh man photo-shopped as Paris attacker, faces online fury

[Bielsa]

A Sikh man from Canada was at the centre of a social media storm after a photo of him was digitally altered to portray him as one of the suicide bombers involved in the Paris attacks.

The image of Veerender Jubbal, which was changed to show him holding a Quran and what appeared to be a suicide vest, spread so quickly in the wake of Friday’s carnage that it was published on the front page of one of Spain’s largest newspapers and used by two Italian newspapers. An Italian TV channel with nearly 2 million Twitter followers also posted the image.

Jubbal took to Twitter on Saturday to clear things up with this post: “People are editing, and photoshopping my selfies as if I am one of the people causing the issues/problems in Paris.”

He pointed out the altered image had spread to the point where others had to tweet that it was photoshopped. Jubbal also tweeted that a cousin had called him from India after seeing the image.

White people are morons. To them, all "brown" people are the same. South Asia, Middle East, Muslim, Sikh, who cares. You all the same. Fucking xoolo.

I feel bad for Sikhs. In India they get killed and bullied by Hindus and in the West many xoolo white people abuse them.
