It was a challenge, and so I became a cartoonist in the aftermath of 9/11 to reflect stories of people that look like me. People just told me to “go back home” and called me names. I was othered before 9/11 as well, but I was really othered after 9/11. It just so happened as part of my work as a post-9/11 kind of artist, I was not an artist before 9/11. Yeah, I think, the way I would frame that before I started doing this, Captain America was not somebody I was really into or was a superhero that I followed a lot as an American, and of course, an iconic American superhero. So why is Captain America one of your favorite heroes so much more that you regularly cosplay as him? Even though many are fans of Captain America, maybe not as intensely as yourself, at least in your cosplay. It’s not something you necessarily see every day and I would say in particular from BIPOC people. Thank you so much for speaking with The Nerds of Color today! Your project is very interesting. This interview has been edited for length and clarity. Vishavjit sat down with The Nerds of Color to discuss his story, what he hopes to achieve with his cosplay, what he thinks about the conversation about what Captain America should stand for, the process of starting the Kickstarter, and much more.
Why does he regularly cosplay a character many see as a jingoistic symbol? Working with director Ryan Westra, he is now fundraising on Kickstarter to tell this story, American Sikh, in an animated setting so that people might know what his exact journey was. Despite all of this, he remains an optimist for people to treat each other better, and found through his regular cosplaying as Captain America that he could somehow achieve that. He survived a genocide against Sikh people in India as a young boy, and after he and his family fled to the US, he’s constantly experienced racism and Islamophobia (despite not being Muslim) in the pre- and post-9/11 era.
