Police officers in Fremont, CA visited the home of a Indian American woman who had talked to a clerk at Dick’s Sporting Goods about purchasing ammunition, reports NBC Bay Area.
Sim Sangha is a firearms instructor who is also hoping to join the Los Angeles Police Department.
“I don’t know if it’s [because of] my skin color or that I’m Indian,” said Sangha. “I’m not a Muslim, but even if I were, that’s no reason to call police to my home, instantly.”
Sangha decided not to purchase the ammunition and feels she has been singled out because of her race.
