Re: Gaza Under attack
Now you are talking as if you are a great social scientist. People are not mind readers. Since when did making sweeping and boorish generalisation about a huge population based on personal experience in certain geographical area becomes ‘focused point’. You clearly didn’t say half of the things in your original post that you are saying now which would’ve made your post look a lot respectable and reasonable. But that makes me repeat my earlier point that people are not mind readers.
There’s a big difference between acknowledging the problem, introspecting and making sweeping generalizations and callously stereotyping to prove a point. People do the former all the time in PA and everywhere else in the forum, but you tend to get so hyperbolic and self destructively negative and dogmatic that it makes you look like a victim of internalized racism.
When you declare a large group of people as innately racist against certain groups, it hardly matters how loudly you emphasis that they get along fine with the one or two odd groups. It makes no different.
I don’t expect you grasp the impact of such crass generalisation, accusation and stereotyping that has on Pakistani community (especially overseas Pakistanis) that absolutely has nothing to do with such behaviour and in fact condemn it. I don’t expect you to respect their position and voices. But I belong to that group, and I know how damaging such lazy and racist generalisation can be, therefore I wholeheartedly oppose such moral duplicity. There is so much to Pakistan and Pakistanis than certain bigots and racists from the Pinds of Northern Punjab.
