Re: Nationality vs. Identity
Verizon, I totally fail to see your point yet again. If you were really a Pakistani the car dealer wouldn’t even ask you that question to begin with.
When people settle in lands that are foreign to them, they become part of it more than they realize. Sure, one will always be identified with his ancestry, e.g., Kennedys and Ireland, or Cuomos from Italy, but that’s only a paper identity.
If the 2nd or 3rd generation Punjabi Pakistani who doesn’t speak a word of Punjabi identifies himself as a Punjabi, I would like to feed his ass to wild boars.
