Captain America cosplay empowers man to overcome outsider status.

Vishavjit Singh, a bearded, brown-skinned, turban-wearing Sikh, donned a Captain America costume for a photoshoot in 2013 and was surprised by the positive response he received. Singh has since been on a mission to change negative perceptions of Sikhs in America. His latest effort is an animated short film called "American Sikh," which tells the story of how he came to adopt his alter ego. Singh's ultimate goal is for people to see a Sikh in a Captain America suit and find it just as normal as anyone else wearing that superhero costume.
