Reference to an article in Daily "The Dawn" today - the largest circulation newspaper in Pakistan and the writer wish to define some point of race and bread. It is very common around the globe and especially in third world country.
May be I thinking the picture must have true colors. In the article the person is born British but not from the white race and it do count. As if you go to Tokyo the one of the highest prestige city and you are not like them than you will be noticed and also they do not prefer to reply in hangout to person who is not in face of their own race. In Pakistan it is very common to say hey Bengali like a bellboy call. Because still Pakistan's people thinks that Bengali means servant or slave in Pakistan and cannot be respected or may be because they took freedom from the political point of view in 1971 so still the feeling of west Pakistan is like hammering the skull. But in the case of Afghani the ball game is different because they are warriors.
Why any nation will accept immigrant race as original race - but the upcoming President of US the great nation also facing problems of race. It was difficult for me to clearly understand the reasons behind his cathartic outburst. Surely as in Pakistan normally we ask town, village, sir name, four father details etc. It is really bad asking about someone's origin?
Culture can be explained as a "set of distinctive spiritual, material, intellectual and emotional features of society or a social group. It encompasses, in addition to art and literature, lifestyles, ways of living together, values systems, traditions and beliefs. Respecting and safeguarding culture is a matter of Human Rights. It also goes on to report that around 175 million persons are residing away from the country of their birth and one in every 10 persons in the developed regions is a migrant.
If we start from the basics and believe that all humans are not the same and accept diversity as a fact rather than a burden, then we won't go astray. Why is it wrong for a person to retain their cultural or genetic identity and at the same time adopt a new one? What is wrong in being a normal human being and not extremist in any way or life including freindship, relationship and work atmosphere.
