Re: I Thought My Ivy League Degrees Would Protect Me From Bigotry. I Was Wrong.
i wish that was the case Muzna…the way we do things back home in pakistan, very simple simple things such as calling all christians “chooras” (choora mean janitor), always keeping the drinking glass and eating utensils of christian mai who works at your home separate, spreading and practicing hate as well as practicing social boycott against qadyanis in your colony as well as in schools and universities to the extent that now qadyanis hide their identity as much as they can, calling misers in our society yahoodi or hindu to taunt them (tum to yahoddi or hindu say bee zayada kanjoos ho) and the list goes on. and yes it is serious discrimination when your mainstream media does not even want to mention news about minorities being mistreated or killed such as this one
Christian girl killed for shrugging off advances of rich Muslim boys
Pakistan Christian Post
we do some very serious discrimiantion against minorities at state and legistaive level (only a muslim can be PM of pakistan for example) but i am not going into those details …i am just referring to what we do as part of our normal behavior in our daily lives without realizing that we are doing some serious discrimination…that does not mean, we shd not raise voice when we are discriminated but when we get discriminated, at least for a second and as a society lets do some self introspection as well because it will make us stronger and better human beings. thx
