In the short “Red, White and Beard,” Sikh cartoonist Vishavjit Singh takes to the streets of New York in his customized Captain America outfit, presumably hoping to freak out people who thought Falcon as Cap was an outrageous notion.

What he finds seems pretty hopeful, though I think you’d have to assume it must, since it’s unlikely that racists would volunteer their anger on camera or sign a release form to be included. It does demonstrate that Sikh awareness isn’t especially high – notably when he asks people what religion they think he is, and the response is “Christian.”

I think he may actually have super powers, to stay that thin even with all the ice cream bars he enjoys on camera.
