If you live in the US, do you see yourself as a:
- Pakistani-American
- American-Pakistani
- Pakistani
- Pakistani of American origin
:halo: Just curious. i realize it’s a very stupid question, sorry.
Funny, we were just discussing this.
I see myself as a Pakistani-American.
If someone asked me, are you American, I would say yes. If they asked me what I am (I hate that question), I would say Pakistani-American.
I would say Pakistani-American because I was born and raised in America, but I also feel a connection to the culture and people of Pakistan. The reason I would say that in the end I'm American is because to me American allows for diversity and acceptance of the Pakistani part of me. Does that make sense?
Happy Independence Day :D
I wish I knew the answer to it.
I'm a Canadian citizen of Pakistani origin. Whenever I'm asked, I usually tell'em I'm from Pakistan.
I tell 'em, I'm from Pakistan, and living in Canada for a while. I also tell them it makes no matter to me or them.
I'd say Brazilian
Muslim-Pakistani-American…
that’s cool! I actually had to write a paper on something like this and I saw your reply and I quoted you in my paper :halo:…
btw, Madia, I call myself a Pakistani-American too, but the thing is ther eis no such category here …i always have to fill out the “Other” category..
I am just -
canadian-pakistani.
human-american

Pakistani-American here :k:
Haha. Glad I could help.
People tell me to check “white.” I either check “Asian” or “Other.” Now forms include South Asian. But often I leave it blank (unless it’s required).
I write Aryan-Indian-American
Nigger
