Re: The Pakistani-American dilemma: Guests or citizens?

I have yet to meet a Pakistani in the US or in New York who actually cares to do any good in Pakistani who has lived here all their lives. The few Pakistanis I do meet are western education ones who grew up in Pakistan. But then again I represent the 1% of Pakistanis who converse in English as easily as they do in Urdu and who can afford an education abroad.

The Pakistani society in the US is basically more interested in *****ing about Pakistan and complaining about how they got food poisoning the last time they went home.

Indian’s don’t do that. I have yet to meet a second generation Indian that is not proud of being Indian. However Pakistanis are idiots. I have met Jamsheds who are Jimmy’s. Ali’s who are Al. Etc. If you don’t respect yourself nobody is gonna respect you.

I personally know two families ( one a cardiologist another a telecom engineer ) that went back to Pakistan and are doing well. I know it is far more common among Indians, but saying it never happens with Pakistanis is incorrect.
