Racial discrimination...

Re: Racial discrimination...

one day in canada, there will be a BIGGGGG war, a civil war! based on past history we've seen it and its most likely to happen here. Too many immigrants, making their own little communities, and these communities with some time will turn into larger areas. If god forbid another thing like 9/11 happens in toronto canada, it may cause problems.

Re: Racial discrimination…

You all are saying to say something back. Well, all the times that i know a muslim girl that has been discriminated, it’s usually whenever I’m with my sisters or alone. Never when I’m with my dad or brother. And I guess that’s why my dad tells me not to say anything back to them if they do. Because people in DC are maniacs .

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.

It’s quite common over here, sometimes it’s been really frank but most of the times it’s subtle and disguised.

At times it makes me feel ashamed of living in this country.

A lot of Pakis have an habit of arse licking and goroN ki haaN meiN haaN milaana so they get on okay by putting down their own culture in favour of gora culture but I can’t live like that, buttering ki meri aadat naheiN hai, I suppose that’s what pisses a lot of them off, some respect differences of opinion but a lot don’t.

I think you’ll find in real life racism is very common and PC is very short lived and only limited to the professional world but a lot of Pakis don’t interact with goray on a social level so they think of them as angels.

Very true indeed. My elder sister thinks goras don’t descriminate against desis, it’s the desis that do weird harkatain. I always tell her that she never had to deal with them while she was in school but we do. Goras aren’t as down-to-earth as one might think and most sound like angels in a professional setting. When you deal with them on a social level, that’s when they come out of their shell.
