I say ‘what’ to my parents, doesn’t bother them one bit.. just because we aren’t as formal with our mums and dads as kids in Pakistan doesn’t necessarily mean we’re bad or disrespectful.. Like the way some ppl think it’s really rude to call ur husband by his name 
Also, if an elder is having a go at their kid, putting them down in front of others or giving them a slap (which I see a **lot **in Pakistan), I really don’t see it as a positive that the kid just keeps quiet and takes it.. Obviously not good to shout at elders but at the same time parents need to maintain a balance, not start ranting or giving a beating over every small thing..
A positive I can think of straight away in regards to Pakistanis is the hospitality.. u never leave a person’s house hungry
