American Born Confused Desi or Britain Born Confused Desi..
What is the confusion in them? Why is it used in online discussion?
Re: ABCD or BBCD
They think they are pakistanis. But they are sort of blend of indians/goras.
Stuff like that.

Wow. So now people don't even accept Pakistanis as pakistanis because they were born elsewhere?

No!
Who am I to call a pakistani, not-a-pakistani.
I am just saying their mental make up.
Which can not be like a person who was raised in pakistan.
Re: ABCD or BBCD
Pakistan born confused Pakistanis are an even more curious concept.

That does not make them 'less pakistani'.
Define a Pakistani.

Ok being pakistanis is not the most amazing thing in the world.
So they are american/british which is way better thing, then being pakistani.
Ask american or british... as a matter of fact ask ABCD.
So that mean I am not down grading them.
All I am saying there are certain things they don't understand.
And logically speaking. Pakistan is not their home any more.. so they are less likely to have meaning full insight on any thing relating to pak.

So they are wearing glasses which don't allow them to see things as clearly as a Pakistani in Pakistan does because they mingle with rest of the world. So their opinion does not matter. Great

Exactly, if we generalize Pakistanis all along, those who are born or living in Pakistan are far more confused than those living abroad..
Pakistanis outside the country especially in west are far more clear of their choices, whichever they be.

Re: ABCD or BBCD
Why generalize? :hinna:
Re: ABCD or BBCD
ya we shouldnt but when we start a conversation with ABCD/BBCD (also PBCD), the generalization begins right there. See if you can avoid

NO!
Because they are away from home.
Its just natural.

It's not about where you were born. It's about where you were raised.
Re: ABCD or BBCD
Plenty of 'PBCDs' too, sadly.
Re: ABCD or BBCD

Not true.
I know far more about Pakistan's history and politics than most of my Pakistani born cousins.
But yes, nothing beats the hands on local knowledge and insight, I'll give you that.
Re: ABCD or BBCD
Pakistani's living abroad gain an understanding of how things SHOULD BE in a real democracy.
Which is why seeing support for Kugoo Nawaz by educated western Pakistani's is baffling.
Re: ABCD or BBCD

listening to arab music, doing yallah yallah dance while arabs actually don't want to associate with you al-bakistanis ?
Re: ABCD or BBCD
I thought that you were born in pakistan hence your grandpa able to enroll you in the army? 
Re: ABCD or BBCD
No I wasn’t.
Re: ABCD or BBCD
Does pakistani army even want foreigners in it? I do remember reading that in the sixties afghans would come in and get in as soldiers for a year or two "tour", make money and then go back home.
