Is your father Pakistani-born?
I think it would be harder for a Pak-born man to settle with an idigneous English woman but easier for a British born Muslim of Paki descemt.
I think a British born Muslim boy of Paki descent and a British born Muslim girl of Anglo descent would be more comptaible with each other than a Biritish born Muslim boy of Paki descent and a Paki-born girl.
I married a Paki-born girl but I’m an exception, I’m very multi-cultured, most Brits (of Paki descent) only care about religion, they don’t know much about Paki culture/traditions other than the basic language…
…I think they would be more comfortable with a white girl/boy (provided they are the same religion) who grew up on the same streets, speak the same language, went to the same schools, listened to the same music, watched the same cartoons…
My wife doesn’t know what a sherbet fountain (liquorice dips) is, or what it’s like to bunk school and eat fish n chips from the local chippy on a cold winter day, she doesn’t know who Sooty is either… My wife can’t relate to all the naustalgic memeories of my childhood, she’s been bought up in a completely different enviroment.
…I tend to find I’ve more in common with white people my age in this country than Paki ppl in Pak my age (and I spent a few yrs of my childhood in Pk)…
