Seriously? Will all my threads turn into more welcome back comments. If that is the case I am just gonna get Sahar to ban me once again.

But then I miss you too much. I guess banning you is kind of masochistic.

Are you asking about Pakistani-Americans born and raised in America? Or Pakistanis born and raised in Pakistan?

Oh so now we are letting Mullahs define ethnicity. Mashallah.

arab is an ethnicity now?

Re: Why do some Pakistanis love the US so much?

Yes. Of course. Libya, Syria, Sudan, Iraq are all such examples. Oh yes lets not forget Islamic Tunisia and Islamic Egypt to that list as well. Perfect example. While we are at it we can include Chad and Somalia and then there is Eritrea. Yes all examples of Arab countries being in cahoots with the US.

There is no one more Arab than Saudis and they're with the Americans, so go figure.

Re: Why do some Pakistanis love the US so much?

So basically you are saying Arabs are not an ethnicity? That the people of Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Syria etc. don't share a common religion, culture, language and historical background?

If Arabs don’t belong to a common ethnicity, what is it then? Race? Can not be true for obvious reasons, because there are brown Arabs, white Arabs and even Black Arabs. So ofcourse all these people are clasified as Arabs.because they share a common culture and are thus an ethnic group.

Wikipedia is not your friend but enemy…

If Jews and Hispanics get to be an ethnicity, Arabs should too! F Wikipedia.

It’s especially amusing when everything described above is demonstrated by Pakistanis living in Pakistan who have never or barely spent any time overseas.

^^now that’s a valid point

@CM bhai you can;t help but love a place you were born and raised in…if the US or canada or whatever are all you’ve ever known there are no ifs ands or buts about loving it…it’s really their situation due to which they love the US/canada etc.

now for those who may have spent half their lives in pak and half in the US you can ask that question and granted ive never been very social but ive rarely met a pakistani like the one you are describing, except one and he clearly had an inferiority complex

then there are those who spent half their life in the middle east and half in the states…most of those that ive come across have a strong desire to return to the middle east but have no real affiliation with pakistan once again it’s because of their situation

You all do realize I am not speaking of ABCDs and BBCDs right? Its amazing how many people think this is directed at them. Guilt conscience?

We should move Grand canyon and Smoky mountains to pakistan

Re: Why do some Pakistanis love the US so much?

Language is another reason Pakistanis are influenced by American propaganda so much. English is touted as the language of upward mobility and children are encouraged to adopt it from an early age. The kids adopt a lot more than just the language and then expats laugh at them for trying too hard. True story.

I take my words back..I should read ayatul kursi instead of thinking about Bradley Cooper.

I mean they rather have McDonalds instead of a korma, regardless of the fact that McDonalds literally destroys your body. They are far more in tune with US politics. I mean they can rattle off the policies of Reagan, but have no clue who Sheikh Rashid is.

Also its odd. Kameez and jeans…the moment it becomes fashionable, everybody is wearing it. Before then well lets just say S&Ks weren’t acceptable. It was all jeans and shirts or t-shirts or god knows what else.

Oh yes please help me when I hear a Pakistani speak Urdu like a colonial master. That is just wrong on so many freaking levels.

However the icing to the cake is when they have “authentic” items from Pakistan on display to show that they are Gorays but in touch with the Motherland.

So whats with this desire to be more gora than gorays. Inferiority complex?

Hmmmm…I think so.

It is a complex…not sure what kind though.

I have seen a lot of people come here from Pakistan and look down on people that were born here for being backward. Or so they think. So strange…

They don’t speak Urdu, they speak broken and heavily accented English. They don’t like desi clothes, they like minis and alkyhaal.

While I celebrate what I have been taught…they try to hide it as much as possible and pretend it never happened.

I find these people…bicharay. Because its actually *them *who have no idea who they are. Not us.

@NomiCA

the original questions is about 'Pakistani" what you described are not pakistani, they are americans

Nomeeka, since when do you get say who they are and who they’re not?
