Either way, if you continue to talk to him and he genuinely has his reasons for dislike of Pakistanis them yes it's a deal breaker. But even for him to make a "passing" remark about Pakistan when the girl he's speaking to is Pakistani is arrogance and snooty and leaves a bad taste in your mouth when this is someone your trying to get to know. Everyone is entitled to their opinions, but that seems like a red flag if this guy was trying to impress you.
It wasn't even THAT offensive in the context of what he maybe meant but its still not something that's said to a potential rishta person..
Did he apologize even in a passing statement? Or did he continue to pound his opinion? How did you respond?
yes it would be, I dont know why some people hold grudge or be judgmental/critical. I am talking about both sides of the border. I have known my husband literally half of my life. He is indian origin and I am pakistani, we never talk about such stuff, if there is something controversial we both have pretty much the same view on either sides. I cant imagine if he says stuff about the country I was born in in a demeaning tone/way, I would be upset.
Silly people like the kind OP mentioned in her OP, come up to us and ask stuff like if there is pak-indo war who will support who, and what about pak-ind cricket match and we just look at each other thinking WTH is wrong with them. My husband is a cricket fanatic but honestly WHO CARES, he never says a word. Not because we both ignore or try to avoid controversies, there is no point comparing apples to oranges. every country and its people have their own issues, and personalities.
RUN!!!! avoid people who have no respect for other countries or nations...
I used to play squash with this indian guy at local gym. Until he started bashing Pakistan. Had to set him straight and refuse to play with him further.
There is a significant difference between criticising a country (and/or the government of a country) and criticising the people of said country. There really should be no issue in criticising a country because, as far as countries and governments are concerned, there is always room for improvement and the only way to make improvements is by pointing out flaws in the current state of affairs. Criticising and/or speaking negatively of the people of country, however, is not only prejudiced but rather illogical since government/state of affairs of a country is not necessarily representative or the fault of the people living there.
Since when did you have concern about Pakistan or Pakistanis? Check your passport first...if it is green then obviously he should be kicked out....however if it is not green then you are no longer a Pakistani anyway...so don't worry about it
Angoor khattay hain! Sir jee aap apni Pakistaniat ki fikr karain, dosron ko na batain kay wo Pakistani hain ya nahi.
It happened with me when I was looking. She made such remark. Out of retaliation, I stole her credit card number and used it to do some online shopping. That probably taught her a lesson
Once an Indian colleague asked for a prescription, while i was writing and we were chatting, he badmouthed Pakistan, i tore off the prescription and told him to get out.
Moral: Some Indians are stupid.
