Late last month, Singh's attacker—21-year-old Luis Vazquez—pleaded guilty to the hate-crime attack, and faces sentencing on April 18. In the meantime, I received an email from Hot Tipper Lauren, who writes: Last evening I caught a cab at the 7-11 on 15th, and started chatting with my driver. He was friendly, warm and unobtrusive. Jolly, if you will. When I asked if he was just starting, or about to be off...

I feel sorry for the guy. I REALLY SERIOUSLY DO!!

The problem is that in the post 9-11 world, he must conform to certain things. If he wears a turban, he will be seen as a terrorist. People get the wrong idea.

I can't see why that was worth deleting.
