Re: Poll: What’s your ethnicity?
I’ve studied with international Baloch students in London. Very good looking guys, but also very very proud of their tribal culture and norms - no matter good or bad. You could tell they belonged to rich, influential and armed Sardar families from back home, but they had very little respect and interest for mainstream politics. Again, it ties back with their strong tribal roots. And even they’re are forced to take part in mainstream political debates - they get increasingly anti army and anti Punjabi (to them there isn’t really a difference between the both). But I’m still in touch with them, they’ve always been be pretty cool with me despite confronting my love and passion politics - same with tribal Pathans I’ve befriended over the years. Despite these people almost restorting to racism in their misplaced frustration, they are without a doubt some of the best people I’ve met. I’ve enjoyed my interaction with them far more than time I’ve spent with Pakistanis belonging to other Cities - minus Lahories of course. 
My father has a very close childhood Baloch friend, he’s second generation Lahori now based in Islamabad, and some big shot in PIA, doesn’t care about politics, as long as he’s got people in his pocket, and of course, some money as well. There’re pretty neutralised as a family (women are more Balochified than men), but they claim to be proper Baloch’s when it comes to marrying and *re-marrying. *
