2012年8月5日星期日上午10时左右，一名全副武装的韦德·迈克尔·佩奇走进威斯康星州的橡树溪锡克教礼拜堂。佩奇杀死了六名礼拜者，打伤了另外四人。虽然凶手与几个白色至上主义组织有联系，但当局不愿猜测这一事件的动机。事实上，种族一词在本案中很少被提及。在媒体对这一事件的描述中，缺乏对种族主义作为这一罪行的动机因素的持续审查是非常令人不安的。通过对结构性种族主义的批判性分析，本文强调了种族主义的沉默，种族化的身份，以及种族主义行为，如威斯康星州gurdwara谋杀仇恨犯罪的联系，使种族化和殖民化的暴力延续到棕色的身体。这种结构性的种族主义免除了许多美国人（我们还要加上许多加拿大人）根深蒂固的种族主义信仰和意识形态。通过提供一个反霸权的叙述，本文讨论了如何同质化的棕色机构，如锡克教徒和穆斯林，有非常真实的材料的后果，在北美的背景下。最后，本文讨论了这一事件的“国内恐怖主义”的有问题的框架和去伊斯兰化的锡克教恐惧症在后9-11-2001背景下的重要性。
On Sunday, 5 August 2012, at approximately 10:00 a.m., an armed Wade Michael Page walked into the Oak Creek, Wisconsin Sikh gurdwara, a place of worship. Page killed six worshippers and injured four others. Although the murderer had links to several white supremacist organizations, authorities would not speculate on the motive of this incident. In fact, the word race was rarely mentioned in relation to this case. The lack of a sustained examination of racism as a motivating factor in this crime was very troubling within the media's portrayal of this incident. Through a critical analysis of structural racism, this article highlights how the silences of racism, racialized identities, and the connections of racist acts such as the Wisconsin gurdwara murders to hate crimes perpetuates racialized and colonized violence on brown bodies. This structural racism absolves many Americans (and we would add many Canadians) of their deeply rooted racist beliefs and ideologies. By providing a counter-hegemonic narrative, this article discusses how the homogenization of brown bodies, such as Sikhs and Muslims, has very real material consequences in a North American context. Finally, this article discusses the problematic framing of this incident as 'Domestic Terrorism' and the importance of de-Islamizing Sikhaphobia in the post-9-11-2001 context.
