Ok, see my post above where I elaborate a certain situation that happened today.
got it
I saw it.Ok, see my post above where I elaborate a certain situation that happened today.
Just wanted to make sure, I don’t want to make anyone uncomfortable, especially not FaceAndBBC bhai.Ermmm obviously. I have to meet up with my .org brothas before I die
Is it what you expected? And is it similar to your country?
where are you from, nationality-wise? If you don’t mind. (I notice you live in the EU so I wanted to ask)Ok, see my post above where I elaborate a certain situation that happened today.
I live in The Netherlands but my family is from Pakistan. They moved here in the 1970s and 1980s respectively.
Us Americans is used do it (in context of urban areas and maybe even suburban) and sometimes do, I mean, the us is a huge and diverse nations with like 50 states, 11 different cultures, and the urban vs suburban and rural social differences so it’s a mixed bag but most Americans would usually do it but now I feel like we can’t tell people or encourage people to do certain things because the culture now (since the late 1900s) makes you look like a bigot or a weirdo, despite me just trying to help (telling a kid to behave in a store, or telling a ghetto person to pull his pants up, or telling a freshie about social norms here so he doesn’t embarrass himself again, etc.)
Ah, the Netherlands.
Yeah, I see what you mean. People overall have become shittier and ruder so even when you are trying to correct their behavior, they’ll just double down on it instead of properly adjusting.
I speak Dutch fluently.
But of course you’re nationally Dutch, right?
Also, thoughts on The Hague?
Yes, I was born and raised here; so my nationality is Dutch. I don’t have a Pakistani passport. I can, technically speaking, not identify as Pakistani since I don’t have a passport, and being Pakistani is a nationality. I do identify as Dutch, but not ethnically for obvious reasons.
I shouldn’t have asked this it was redundant lol.

You explained yourself here
Imo disporas will always be identified with their country of origin no matter what
It’s similar to Rotterdam, I go there sometimes. We have a term here and it’s called “de Randstad,” it encompasses four of the big cities: Amsterdam, Den Haag, Rotterdam and Utrecht. Den Haag is the Dutch way to say The Hague.
Yeah; most people would say they’re Pakistani but there’s only 25K of us. I’m just highlighting that it, technically, doesn’t make sense. Instead, I could say I’m Punjabi since that’s not defined by nationality.
I can tell. The Germanic heritage of English and Dutch (specifically west Germanic) makes it obvious whe you read it.
I mean, it’s a fair question. Maybe I’m illegal.I shouldn’t have asked this it was redundant lol.
You explained yourself here
Mirin. Yeah, there’s certainly some overlap. I can understand some German when it’s written down.
This is what happens if you try to identify with a country that isn't where your genes originate from. It's basically lookism and phenotype discrimination

Don’t get me wrong, I identify as Dutch in international spaces, irl I say my family’s from Pakistan. Of course it’d look weird for me to say I’m Dutch IRL, but then again there’s also a lot of white liberals who will say I’m Dutch because I was born and raised here so there’s that.This is what happens if you try to identify with a country that isn't where your genes originate from.

Hilarious comments under video. Are your proud to be British?
Some of the comments Deleted comments Just because you bagged an ugly self hating mudshark doesn't mean you are now british pajeet. You will never be a brit. It is because of race traitors like you this country is in the state it is now. You and your bf are both disgusting Imagine...
I have cousins who are British and American born. Born and raised in the UK and The US respectively. 0 accent, pretty white washed but they always say they are Indian origin because it gets a lot of people mad. If they say they are American or British they say where are you really from or something like that.Don’t get me wrong, I identify as Dutch in international spaces, irl I say my family’s from Pakistan.

If it’s an ethnostate, that is.This is what happens if you try to identify with a country that isn't where your genes originate from. It's basically lookism and phenotype discrimination

You can always say ethnically Indian, nationally (insert nationalities) or Indian-American.
That depends on phenotype and the political climate at that time once upon a time Irish and Italian Americans were also ostracized, were hated by people and given the otherworldly treatment but in general it's a lot easier for certain groups to identify as their countries of birth because they are more readily accepted. A Swedishcel with a thick accent who moved over from stockholm to settle in Minnesota will still be considered 10x more American than an Indian who is born and raised in California. Certain things are just the way they are and can't be changed. They are out of your control.
settling the Swede in Minnesota in that example is cheating though lol
so many ethnically Swedish Americans there.
I can understand if they get upset in the UK, but the US? It’s a melting pot. Anyone can be American provided they have a passport. In the Netherlands, if someone asks you where you’re from, they always mean your parents’ native country. However, Dutch people don’t seem to care about where you’re from in my experience.
I need more than just your passport to see an individual as an American. That’s why I JFL’d.
No worries, I didn’t even question it.
