Re: The other Pakis
Sarah, it is not a bothersome detail..it is more of a thankful exclamation. I tell you why I care Sarah. JOhn adams highschool in queens NY is 75% desi, 50% muslim...graduation rate last year was around 48%. Parents of the kids are insular, religious and come frm low income families. They don;t need any more sermons on "good paki" "bad goras"..they need to learn that intermingling and learning from each other is the best way to succeed. So excuse me if I am a little too hands on about this. The role models infront of them are their myopic parents and the imams in the mosques who cannot help them figure out whether college can be a reality.
Zakk, you are welcome. Any little help I can offer let me know.
