Re: The good news is..
We should be tolerant of each other.
Just wanted to show you diversity at its best. There are beautiful pepole in all races.
I am not really sure where and from whom the "subliminal sense of inferiroty complex" is stemming from; and more importantly why??

Re: The good news is..
That banner was made by Crescent_ and he said that those were Pakistani kids in that image.
Although, I must admit, they look white.
Re: The good news is..
I agree. I watch Zee news and wonder how come all these Indian News presenters look like Nepalis?
Re: The good news is..
I dont have to type and see moron. I was born and raised in Pakistan. green eyes and fair complexion is very common in our family. So kapeeesh.
Re: The good news is..
both my parents are kinda dark skinned, i.e., they deff look paki but my bro n i r chittay chittay... he looks like white boy, i look hispanic :D And anyway... darker-skinned punjabis can be hot :D
Re: The good news is..
It’s called accepted racism honey and you better start accepting it ![]()
Otherwise you would be nothing but a person who is or loves balck people with their black colour and black everything ![]()
Re: The good news is..
Irish are Caucasians...
Romanians and the pakhtoons are wheat coloured with rosy cheeks, even when hungry...Not pale...
Re: The good news is..
i know a pakhtoon who is pink coloured...
anyway it doesnt matter what colour those kids are...
as long as they are not dark skinned, all is well in the world
Re: The good news is..
sara living in the bronx doesn’t make one look hispanic. I have seen your pic..you look desi…more dominican/puerto rican than say white brazilian. sorry chanda…
Re: The good news is..
^^^ shattering a little girls self esteem?
tsk tsk!
anyway, brazilians arent white...they look Pakistani
hence the reason they shouldnt use the london underground
Re: The good news is..
^ No, she is a big girl..she can take it. the question is not whether 2 kids from kaleem's village are pakistanis...the question is whether they are a true representation of pakistanis on a banner celebrating unity and independence.
and LD, I will chalk up your knowledge on brazil to having mojitos. Brazilians are segmented as white brazilians and black brazilians and indians (indigenous). Some day I will take you there...not yet.
Re: The good news is..
Mr Pinny, Do you really think that Pakistani's anywhere see a bunch of brown skinned children and say...hey thats what represents me and mycountry?
Pakistanies(as with a huge majority of people on this planet) can differentuate between microshades in skincolour.
they can go for fair, very fair, hint of apple blossom, wheat, wheatish white,...none will say...Im dark
and therefore they cannot accept that they may have some sort of connection with these people
Re: The good news is..
Ok, according to your Pinstripio-Logy these kids are white? …
We have a white strip on our flag …that covers all others …:-) white, black and very-black or hindus!
Re: The good news is..
the kids in the picture are in the minority in Pakistan’s population of 150 million. that is the point. whether pakistanis wil say they are dark or not is not the issue…they are. unless something happens to them as they get older, considering i have met a lot of them who very rarely resemble any one of these kids. It speaks volumes abut a illfounded sense of self within the pakistani community.
From my firends to the driver of the car services last night I took to get home..they all are not reflective of the picture being painted.
just calling a spade a spade ..sorry excuse me..whiteboard a white board. ![]()
as far as the coloring you described, you shoudl pay some royalty to the LL Bean catalog.
Re: The good news is..
The point is that nobody else is willing to call a spade a spade
however they WILL call a blackboard a whiteboard
and thats why we have “white” kids on the banner because peopel DONT LIKE brown ones.
pinny, when we go to brazil…can we go to peru first?
Re: The good news is..
^ No, we go to Peru after BRazil and CHile. We need to sit in the cafes in santiago, listen to bohemian poetry and drink excellent wine.
Re: The good news is..
Good God!..... what is it with people here and POETRY!!!!
I guess I'll put up with the poetry if it means going to Peru ...I'll be damned if im going to cross the atlantic twice!
Re: The good news is..
Have to agree with PD on this one, he does have a point, this picture is not reflective of the majority.....
