ABCD?

Re: ABCD?

@Le_Pakistan

What kind of weird/offensive things do people say when they find out you are desi?

@Paheli00

I don’t look desi either and people are usually surprised when they find out (I don’t have a typical desi name either so that certainly doesn’t help). But I’ve never had anyone give me a negative reaction due to this fact.

So I’m curious…What type of offensive things do people tell you?

Same here about the name!

Well usually its.. “aap toh bohot healdy [healthy] ho iss liye pakistani nahi lagti.” (like allll pakistani girls are only slim and petite )
“aap toh bohot amreekan lagti ho/bilkul amreekan ho gi ho.”

I know what the desi version of “healdy” means…and I’ve heard it enough times to know that being too “amreekan” isn’t meant in a nice way at all.

@Decent_6Chora

On serious note: Its a 2 way traffic. ABCD and FOB are lame terms invented by people who would love to go to the other side if given chance.

Lol…
I dunno about that. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve realized nothing is black and white..there are so so so many people who are what I call “in-between.” In fact I think the “in-betweens” (the ones who live in Pak but have more western values and their counterparts, the ones who move out of Pakistan as young adults/teens etc) are much much much more common than the ABCD/FOBs.
