Ethnic jokes...

No, I’m not going to post any…I have a question about them. I notice that Pathans are a favourite target, as are Sikhs, but then I’ve read a few which are aimed at Memons. Can someone explain what is the stereotype of Memons that would make them eligible for this dubious honour?

Re: Ethnic jokes...

Memons are the desi version of Scotsmen - if you know what I mean :)

Re: Ethnic jokes...

I see. So the Pakistani equivalent of Gujaratis in India. And what is the stereotype of Pathans?

Re: Ethnic jokes...

jokes about Pathans people started as war propoganda. Brits started saying Pathans were stupid and etc.

Re: Ethnic jokes...

Brits were always saying others are stupid. But why then do fellow Pakistanis continue this? Indians use Sikhs for the butt of their jokes.

Re: Ethnic jokes...

Because they are jokes. Its how everybody makes fun of American's in their jokes. At least they do here in Afghanistan.

Re: Ethnic jokes...

OOh! I'd love to hear some Afghan jokes about Americans!
