At least they assume you’re from somewhere in Pakistan! I get all sorts of countries before they even think of Pakistan, someone even thought I was Russian once 
Only Pakistani’s recognise me as Pakistani but even then they ask whether I’m Kashmiri or Pathan, I was even asked whether I was Chachi once…I don’t even know what/where that is? 
You should see their faces when I let them know I’m Punjabi though.
Beauty is definitely subjective, some people find fairer skin tones attractive while others prefer deeper/dusky skin tones. I don’t really bother with skin colour, as long as they have striking features…give me a strong jawline and killer cheekbones over a gora rang any day 
On the subject of skin colour, Is it just me or does it seem that we’re constantly told that out natural skin colour isn’t perfect and we have to strive to achieve an ‘ideal’ depending on what society we live in? In the west people want to get darker and in the east people want to get fairer. It’s a shame really…
