Racial discrimination...

Ranjan, it’s sad to see desis giving priority and more respect to the whites than to their fellow desis. Btw.. where do you reside?

Sara516, I feel Muslims now get discriminated a lot more than the Blacks in the US. No wonder so many desis got kicked out because of their illegal status in the US, while the US is still packed with illegal immigrants from numerous other countries and no action has been taken against them. Plus many others fled to Canada, as they became victims of racial profiling after whatever happened a few years ago.

LuxuryItem, I’ve heard quite a lot about that as well. Many were fired, while many others had no other choice, but to leave their jobs and residence because of the situation around them.

TeenDabbyWala, Bengladeshis and Christians residing in Pakistan with decent education have decent jobs. However, those with no or very little education are forced to take up low-level occupations.

Khatmal, in Sindh, Sindhis are everything, in Pujab, Punjabis are everything. Similarly, in Balochistan, Balochis get to rule the area and Pathans have a strong hold in their area. As soon as you step outside your territory you’re treated badly in Pakistan.

skhan, I fully agree with you.

Come on Sadia. How long have you lived in USA? I have been in this country for 8 years now and have not met anything in person as yet. If somebody asks you to take of your shoes (havent had to take off mine yet though I travelled about 7 times after 9/11) you would find a lot of non desi goras are being told to do the same, so its across the board. Yes however if you were illegal in this country prior to 9/11 it would be a different story now. But then lets not forget what the word “illegal” means.

But then yes I have met discrimination, only in our own embassy. Thats the only place in USA where the clerks would assume that you need to kneel down for each and every right of yours. Passport renewal, Visa for Pakistan you name it they have it.

Now talking of discrimination, dont bull**** me on discrimination in Pak against Bengalis, Muhajirs or christians. No there is no discrimination because everybody is treated the same way. You can ask anybody even a Punjabi of his encounter with Police. And Police Ka Hai Farz Madad Aap Ki and Mudad they will.

Mukhtar Mai was no Bengali? was she see we in Pakistan make sure not one community could complain. If Murtaza Bhutto was killed so was Umar Asghar Khan.

Last but not least, when travelling to Pakistan I am scared, but not about my teatment in USA but how I would be treated by out immigration and customs in Pakistan when i am leaving for US.
