Re: Weird
No, its not a one way street.
I just think its been too long…ABCD’s is such an old term. People are not confused here about their identities. The ones who believe so want us to fit neatly into THEIR description or opinion of what we should be like. And that’s not going to happen, ever…its not required to happen. That’s the American part of American Desi.
The Confused part of ABCD is relative…people who believe that we have identity issues are pretending as if they have a better understanding of what American Desis should be like. They don’t. There’s no definition of American Desi that we’re failing. Pakistanis here are not supposed to be anything like Pakistanis in Pakistan. Its not confusion…its an active choice to be whatever it is we want. Because we can.
