A Sikh man was removed from an overnight queue to watch the Wimbledon because he made people around

He was eventually allowed to re-enter the ground after getting into the queue again after a few hours. He also made an official complaint. "All I wanted was to peacefully chill and patiently await an opportunity to re-enter the hallowed grounds and see the decorated surface while Roger and Milos scamper and glide across it," he wrote.
A Wimbledon spokesperson confirmed the incident. "We do acknowledge, however, that in this instance the event safety staff could have provided a better explanation to him," the spokesperson said.
There has been a wave of reported racist incidents across the UK following the Brexit referendum. Police reports of hate crime have gone up by more than 42% from June 16-30. One initiative tried to combat post-Brexit racism by wearing a safety pin to show solidarity with immigrants living in the UK.
In February, Indian-American actor and designer Waris Ahluwalia was barred from boarding an Aeromexico flight in Mexico because he refused to remove his turban In the same month, Sikh YouTube star JusReign was asked to remove his turban during a security check at San Francisco airport.
