Pakistanis actually discriminate against Pakistanis who have black skins or are swarthy. So i wouldn't be surprised if they started to discriminate against an Actual black person. This is just the way the British have instilled a sort of inferiority complex in the Indian people which the Pakistanis later inherited.
You can't blame Islam or Pakistani Islam for that matter because Islam doesn't teach any hatred towards any color or race or peoples. Its just the fact that ever since the British spread their imperialist monarchy around the world they went around preaching their the slave Masters were better than the Slaves. If you read the books of Ibn al Arabi the philosopher scientist of the Muslim golden age he writes that the western people (meaning European Caucasians) are a large and pale people and are incompetent to understand the Islamic sciences.
He was right because in the 10th centuries only the Middle east was a haven for learning and mathematics and Sciences etc. While in the west such as in Europe, people still lived in feudalistic rural environment with little scientific development. It was later in the 16/17th centuries when Islamic literature would be converted to Latin from Arabic in Spain that sparked the Renascence and change the west forever. So black skin was a sign of knowledge in the old times and being tall and white meant that you didn't know anything. But its the opposite now.
But you can blame Pakistanis. Regardless of the historic factors, they should know better.
Exactly. How can anyone discriminate against an ENTIRE CONTINENT? And the interesting thing is, even education in Pakistan doesn't help people understand that you cannot discriminate.
I feel like this is just one of a million things holding Pakistan back :(
Does that help with the discrimination problem, at least in those areas?
There are some religious black Muslims ... And by black I mean African born .. Who are the most hospitable and well natured people I have seen ... One person who I consider a mentor of mine ... is from Somalia and black ... His knowledge on matters of debate, logic, Christianity and Cult religions is second to none ...
Yes it does ... They always are given respect because they gave respect for coming all that way to Pakistan to learn the Deen.
It's like, over here where I am, some Pakistanis' look down on Bengalis because they consider them ugly/inferior. No valid reason to do, Bengalis have done well for themselves but they are just considered 'different', even though both groups are Muslims.

This is a two way street. I have really seen punjabis to be racist against bangalis in real life (in my experience), but I think pakistanis generally don't think bad of bangalis for what they did in 1971. In fact, many pakistanis would sympathize with bangalis for what happened, but I dare you to get a lot of bangalis to admit that their Mutki Bahini butchered pakistanis / biharis / pro-Pak bangalis during and after the war. It also looks like that UK / Europe gets the worst of pakistanis and bangladeshis as far as immigration to the west.
