Re: If you’re Pakistani and you’re mistaken for an Indian…
I’d call it stereotying or reverse discrimination. I don’t understand why some Indians get offended when I compliment Pakistanis either on looks or their dramas or songs. It must mean we are lacking in those departments. I did mention conventional beauty according to subcontinental standards. And yes those standards can be racist. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder..and in this case im talking about majority of subcontinental observers. Who knows in the West there may be a different standard of beauty. Maybe i should get offended by my quote since I am neither completely north or south indian. It must mean i’m neither intelligent nor do I have a colourful personality. 
I’m not saying i wouldn’t correct the assumptions above. What about this? Some may think is it not racist to assume that 80% of Pakistanis don’t believe in evolution as quoted earlier? Is that not a generalisation? Or that this is a determinant of other qualities?
