Re: Poll: What’s your ethnicity?
I don’t think the “ethnic” groups are giving any skewed impression of what the Pakistani culture is as a whole. While the membership might be concentrated towards one particular province, it doesn’t mean that the entire forum has been “Punjabified”. You don’t see the entire GS using Punjabi in the forums, in fact the major language being spoken is English, and then closely followed by Urdu. And are you really surprised that the majority of the people responding to this thread are Punjabi, when 53.7% of the population is Punjabi, followed by Sindhi who make 22% of the population. Besides, the forum attracts expatriats more so than actual people living in Pakistan, so shouldn’t you be saying “how sad, a Pakistani forum that isn’t really composed of people actually living in Pakistan.”
Actually Punjabis only make up around 40% of the population, the government’s always skewed the census; not all expats are Punjabi or Sindhi, they’re of different ethnic groups too however perhaps the others do not consider themselves Pakistani…
