Re: The wrong Cross-section
good point, but even then, I doubt even sensible americans want to raise their kids like ghetto gang types..
so its not just a diff between a pakistani ghetto ghunda or a good american kid, you have american ghetto ghundas as well, and druggies and all.
I think all parents, well most parents want their kids to be proper, civilized, law abiding, respectful, etc etc. and when morals and values come into play, I dont think thre are many parents comfortable with their kids drinking, sleeping around or doing drugs, so when pakistani-american parents want to instill the same in their kids I see no problem. the issue occurs when they go overboard, which is ridiculous but it happens although it is not as widespread as our resident expert on the contemporary pakistani-american experience phenomenon, i.e. pakora, thinks that it is.
