What's with the hate?

Reha my friend, you and I and many of us reading this can understand what this means in English.

Here it is.

"So then I did say to that lady that "be thankful" you can walk around in a burkha on the streets here. “Appreciate" your freedom that if your husband beats you, you’ll get help from the government. And if you can’t, leave.”

Now please read these bold parts and read what I said in response. You will find nothing which I made up and you need to come to defend to.

diwana…lemme ask you something:

what is wrong with what she said? you want to live in a land that gives you all the freedom in the world and you still want to scoff in their face and say “so what…you owe me this”…is that right?

Agreed. I don’t understand why people live in a country that is supposedly so antithetical to their views and way of life, and I’m speaking about other countries besides the US.

Personally, I have an interest in preserving Desi culture, which includes India as well as Pakistan, but there are many immigrants of all nationalities who do not care. I feel an affinity for Pakistan, even if many of my values would seem alien to a lot of people who live there, so I would like to pass this on to my kids. That said, I think nationalism and patriotism are detrimental and divisive so, while I would be okay with kids being proud of whatever country they are born in, I would hope that with age and knowledge they would gain a deeper perspective on their heritage and their identity.
