So in all honesty, has racism ever been hindrance at any point in your life say school, career, workplace or generally any place? Esp living as expats in other countries?

I have occasionally heard from some people arond me of incidents where they were subject to varied degrees of resentment and obvious change of attitude once they told their names or tell they were from Pakistan in hospitals or public places such as museums etc.

Coming to Pakistan, obviously we haven’t been subject to religious or racial prejudice being Muslim Alhamdullilah. But in Pakistan the cliched status strata people have been divided into causes a lot of people problems and *sifarish *and *rishwat *is rampant. So in conclusion the grass isn’t usually greener on the other side.

What do you people think?

Racism? yes in Pakistan due to our religious belief. People who are usually jahils with no education anyway.
