Re: Are you patriotic?
Yeah, even after 9/11 white people still see Pakistanis and Indians as one people, now they just see the two countries as Scotland and England and of course the religious differences (Pakis are the dangerous ones whilst Indians worship idols with lots of arms).
Paki is used interchangablly for all people from the north of the Subcontinent.
Even other Muslims don’t differentiate, my Arab friends can’t see why we can’t get on with each other beacuse to them we’re all one and we are, there is not much difference between our Punjabi/Sindhi/Kashmiri people and north Indian people, I’m Desi and I can’t differentiate a person from west Punjab to a person from east Punjab or Haryana, or a Sindhi from a Gujju or Rajasthani.
I don’t know why we’re creating differences where they are none, it’s the far right nationalists on both sides who are fcuking it up, we have our fair share of crackheads and they have their own extremist Hindutva fools who make the people feel aprehensive to each other.
