Not directly at you Umer, but maybe we should change our own attitude, all of us, why do we have to tell them we are baahir waaley ? When I am asked in Pakistan where I am from, I say Islamabad, where I stay not AT, we never tell people where we come from unless really necessary or they guess from my accent.

You are absolutely right. And like Muzna said I also avoid standing out as “baahir waala” as much as I can when I am in Pakistan. But my kids don’t. A lot of times conversations go like this: “Aap kaha ke hain?”, I go “Lahore”, one of my kids then says “Papa, lekin hum to Vienna main rehte hain.”

People can usually not tell from my accent either, but from that of my kids.
