Re: Why is there so much racial tension between asian and black people?
Pakistanis to apni zaat se bahar shaadi nahi karte, aap country se tau kya race se bahar shadi ki baat kar rahe hain?
On a serious note, how is that racial tension? You don’t have to marry the other race to prove that you have nothing against them. It’s not that hard to understand why interracial marriages are still uncommon. If I was to ask GSers who their best friend is, most will answer someone from their own cultural background. That doesn’t mean they’re racists. I have a black friend who I adore but she can’t compare to a desi saheli y’know? It’s only natural that we gel better with someone from our own culture. What do we have in common with the black people (excluding religion)? We come from different continents altogether! Why don’t desis marry chinese muslims or egyptians or hispanics etc? Because its got nothing to do with skin colour, it all boils down to how much you share in common which can have effect on the compatibility. That’s not to say interracial marriages don’t happen, they’re increasing now among the desis living abroad.
What I mean by racial tension is, if a desi child only had a choice of marrying a white person and black person I think the parents would prefer the white person from what i have observed/heard.
Also…My closest friends arent pakistanis even though I know lots of pakistani people.
