Re: Interracial marriage - would/did you do it?
SPOILER if you are hurt over the truth look away NOW. Real talk:
Of course two Pakistani [wo]men would like and approve that reply (and frankly I can see guys doing the same). They are so stupid and begerat they can’t see their own faults. Keep in mind that most Arabs are huge racists. I’m guessing since you’re from Chi the guy she married was Palestinian? Go show me Arabs who allow their daughters to marry Pakistani men, Somali men? For Arabs there is white->Arab and then everything below. They straight up call black people 'abeed casually which means slave.
Two of my friends, one a Pakistani from Karachi and one from Hyderabadi Indian roots, both born in the US in the Midwest and raised there, one a doctor one a corporate lawyer. Good looking athletic, good MUslims (no premarital relationships). ONe asked the father while in Umra (Palestinian gir’s father works in Jedda) for his daughter’s hand in marriage, another asked for the Syrian sisters’ brother’s hand in marriage in Chicago. The one in Jeddah gave him a cold response through his son who knew the Pakistani American and not knowing this kid knew ARabic (thu alek) literally spitting on him. The Syrian American’s brother straight up told the Hyderabadi dude if he ever spoke with his sister again, after grabbing his shirt, that he would hurt him.
he odd thing was that in both cases the brothers mentioned not only married out of their race, the married whtie non-Muslim women!
The problem with so many UK and US Pakistanis is they are begerat. They don’t know the kefala system of Saudi Arabia and how discrimination isn’t simply ‘he’s darker or lighter’ in Arab countries it the QANOON, th LAW that Arab men can marry non-Arab non-Muslim women but Arab women cannot even marry non-Arab Muslim men. My neighbor who is an Afghan worked in Saudia for 8 years told me how he cannot even say begerat to Pakistani people because they have no gerat. They give their daughters away while these Arabs would see their women go 40 or in a polygamous relationship before letting a desi or 'abd (their word to refer casually to blacks) marry them.
REmember here in the US we are more educated, economically well off, socially engrained than Arabs who have been here for 5 generations. No point in marrying down or fuelling an Arab man’s ego. Your family should be ashamed. The Arab family got a virgin bride for a guy whose slept around the block with white girls
Another thing Pakistani people amaze me at is PALESTINE. PALESTINE? Since when the hell did Palestine become a Pakistani problem? Pakistan can’t project its power outside its region and its owrrying about Palestine? Tell me after 9/11 how many Arab people had protests against an impending attack on Paksitan? How many UK Pakistanis do you see with Palestine placars at rallies? Now tell me how many Arabs or for that matter desis do you see speak against drone strikes in Pakistan?
Truth is other than fuelling others peoples ego Pakistanis have no respect or sense of identity. I always hear Punjabis say I am Syed, Pathan…well how about the majority of Mohajir and Punjabis? You are from Hindus? Why can’t you say that instead? Wher edid you get your concept or Zaat and Mehndis from? Is zaat and Mehdnis more engarined in culture or is speaking Pashto? So please say you are the descendent of Hindus…not Pathan or something else to cover up your begerati.
Talk about a lack of self-respect and an inferiority complex. You are emasculating a male dominated Arab culture where the man can ‘capture’ and marry a woman of worth but they would never imagine their own sisters stuffed in hijab doing the same
