Re: Problem with Paki parents moving abroad…
For someone who was born in America/Canada/Britain, and was raised for their entire life, the country is a part of their nationality and identity. Why should they be expected to claim that they are only Pakistanis? That they aren’t Americans/Canadians/British?
I can understand why people who were born and lived in Pakistan for most of their lives and immigrated to a Western country later on would want to still consider themselves Pakistani. But it’s silly of them to expect their children to consider themselves Pakistanis and not Americans/Canadians/British.
That being said, being a Muslim and an American is not mutually exclusive.
