Aisha...that is actually not a bad idea...exposing her to different types of people and letting her see for herself. What do I do? Like organize a dinner or something?
No, its not Aisha thats turned all Nazi on me...its another girl friend of mine. She is from Karachi...same area Im from.
You know, not everything shakes me up like this. But seeing one person behave this way towards another...gets me so worked up I dont know what to do!
My inlaws are from Karachi and they are so racist! My mother in law is always insulting everyone EXCEPT Mohajirs (because that is what she is!) She even slanders Punjabis in front of me. So one day I said to her.."err..you do realize I am Punjabi right?" She said..Nahin beta...tum Kashmiri ho (my family is from Sri Nagar/Jummu sid) and then continued cussing them!
She is very friendly with everyone but she is particularly nicer to non Pakistanis. However, she thinks all the nice people she meets are not typical of the average gora etc..
My point is, you can introduce your friends to loads or new people but deep down inside she will always think of herself superior to everyone else.
You can try to preservere with Reds idea and keep introducing her to people and perhaps she will see the light. Or you could confront her and tell her that her comments make you uncomfortable because you dont hold such views and they will be deemed racist by anyone who hears them and request that she not make those comments in front of you. (this is what I did to MIL)
She will probably learn to hold her tongue if she wants to stick around with you or she will find your statements offensive and drop you..which is not a bad thing if she feels the need to continue insulting people.
