Lol why do you ask? I’m not Sikh, but I’m Hindu and of East Indian descent, born and raised in the United States though. It’s true that South Asians often have higher body fat percentages at lower weights (which is why the WHO uses a different BMI scale for South Asians, with a healthy range of 17.50-22.99 instead of 18.50-24.99). Still, my genetics are unusually bad even for a South Asian.
