Re: If you’re Pakistani and you’re mistaken for an Indian…

Why are you concerned over delhi2lahore whoever? I’m talking about this particular topic. I don’t have a problem with a Pakistani correcting their identity. That is their right as others have pointed out there are ethnic differences and what not. I don’t want to minimise their point of view. How are those who get offended thinking the same way as me when I am not getting offended by being mislabelled? :frowning: Should i be angry and depressed if i get mislabelled Pakistani or anything but my ethnic origin in India? If i was mistaken as south indian i’d take it as a compliment that im intelligent (half my professors at college are south indian)..if im mistaken for a north indian i’d think it was because i had a colourful personality and if i get mistaken as african american i would take it as a compliment that im athletic. Yes, they are all stereotypes but positive stereotypes. What is wrong with taking on the idea of hate. Some have said its not a matter of looks as they won’t mind being mistaken for sri lankan, nepali. It’s obviously more than just about looks for some.
