^ Yeah, Lebanon has a lot of Christians, 50 or 40% or something in terms of percentage which I think is similar to Nigeria and yeah, a lot of Lebanese Christians (like other Arab Christians) have names like the Muslims, I had an Egyptian friend who I had assumed was Muslim when we first met cos he had the surname 'Habib' but turned out he was Coptic Christian. Sooooo confusing.
Re: Would You Marry Outside Your Culture?
Hmmmm, so the discussion has clearly moved on from the original question but here's the deal:
If I marry a non-desi, and we have a dawat, and then he comes to my parents's house, and everyone is going to be cracking jokes and talking in Urdu and Punjabi and he'll feel left out. So next time, he'll say SU go by yourself to your parents' dawat and then I'll go :( nahiiii, it's not nice to leave you at home. Then I'll go anyway and when I come back he'll be a little :(
Then our mixed kids (who will be the best looking in the whole khaandaan) will always be singled out because they have a Gora/Kala or whatever Dad.
But, if I wasn't so desi, I'd marry the hottest Black guy I know.

This is so rite.

I don't get this, why our desi girls like black guys ?
Is it because of the "so obvious" reason ? (if you know what I mean ;))
What? That they’re rollin’ in the Benjamins?

Point 1--My husband hardly ever goes to family gatherings, and he is 100% desi, he (obviously) understands everything but isn't much fo a "group" person to begin with. (neither am I but i am a butterfly-wannabe :()
Point 2--My chachu's kids who are half white half desi were the center of attention.. now they've been replaced by my brother's kids (who are half whit eand half desi) and my other cousin's son (who is half desi half arab). so uhm... no they wont be singled out. and if they go to pakistan i really doubt they will be ridiculed. In fact, alot of the time, like you said, people find half-desi kids alot more cuter than full-desi kids. (ok but this is going off in a dff diretion)
Some of you may have read my other post; regardless, however I feel that this applies to more!
Would you/could you consider marrying outside your own culture if you felt that you just couldn't find someone from the small pool of Pakistani's you know?
Or, if you met someone from another culture that you knew was meant for you; would you take the ultimate step?
Yes but only if she's muslim!
