Why are Afghans so racist.

[Manzareh]

I've met afghans all around the world and to me the most racist and bitter people tend to always be afghans. Either somone is a filthy Paki or a Arabay or a black Indian or whatever, never do afghans have anything nice to say about anyone, and then within afghan itself the minority's have their own supremecy issues. Really nasty people. Correct me if I'm wrong but what is your own experience of people from Afghanistan and why do so many of them seem evil (you can be an afghan yourself and still have honest feedback from this)

[Iblis_Efreetzai]

Because we think anything that goes wrong, can't be our fault.

[Elite Pakhtun]

To be fair, so are a lot of people. Pakistanis, Iranians, Arabs especially, list goes on...

A better question is, why are Afghan Pashtuns (we don't care about any of the other morons in that country) unable to tell the difference between an "Indic" Pakistani vs a Pakhtun Pakistani?

[khushal]

Probably lack of education.

But this characteristic is common in all ethnic backgrounds. Here in the US, I myself get along better with Tajiks and Indic Pakis and indians than I do with my own Pashtuns(I think fellow pashtuns see me as a kind of a rival).
Its funny that my indic Paki friends tell me that Pashtuns help each other and stay together but they themselves always plot against each other. They tell me stories of mutual family/friends backstabbing each other. Little do they know these things exist in humanity. Just read up on European royalty, they have documented their own backstabbing each other very well.

You notice it more among Afghans because Afghans are more likely to share their racist views with you than others, as they might assume you hold similar positions. You probably know more Afghans well enough for them to be comfortable sharing their socially unacceptable racism with you than you do people of other races/ethnicities.

Beyond that, racism is generally more common with people who have less exposure to other people. Afghans tend to be pretty isolated and uneducated, which naturally leads to more racism.

Very sensible answer. I agree with you. I think when Afghans hear Pashto they do feel kinship even if you are from the other side of the border so they will be less diplomatic with their views. "Speena khabara"- as they say.

I've never had any problems with any Afghan national mistaking me for an Indic Pakistani-and I'm dark for a Pashtun. I've always had a lot of respect from Afghan Pashtuns and Farsi speakers to be honest with you. In my whole lifetime I've probably only come across one or two Afghans who have been a bit funny, but I have had a lot of interactions with a lot of Afghans and I've always been treated as a brother.

You are not just dark but look like south indian Tamil from facebook photo. They for sure make fun of your fake heritage after you are gone.

It's true to an extent you are right, it's annoying that when I have witnessed it is in such a casual manner. It's deep rooted problem. You would think that being bombed and destroyed by other humans to such an extent would humble a person and realise that they are nothing but a mere human, but instead so much arrogance and so much hatred with nothing to justify it.

Bro, Afghans are brown skinned on average, it's nothing to do with colour they don't care. I'm white as people get, went back home and didn't get any special treatment, Infact the locals would have a joke and tell the kids to call me 'soor dada' which I found disrespectful being a guest and all.. Color is not of any importance. Only in the west I've found this skin colour BS being some sort of issue or herearchy thing.

Racism is not specific to any race or group.

This thread title is Stupid.

You can Ask the same question about every group of people on the planet.

[Samandri]

The best way to judge Afghans (citizens of Afghanistan) is to study them in their own native villages and towns. The ones in diaspora have undergone lot of changes and are hardly typical Afghanish.

In my interactions with them, i did not notice them to be weird towards me. If you are nice with them they are nice towards you. But many of them have village ruggedness and jahalat to them so they may be unpleasant for urban and civilized folk. Pashtuns in general, and those of ghar in particular are very haughty and not so comely and pleasant in manners. Sit with a Wazir or Mehsud, and their haughty nature will disappoint you. But there are some qualities in these mountain folks which are not found in likeable folk of other nations.

About the thing of looking down on other nations , its ingrained in every rural Pashtun across Pakistan and Afghanistan. Its because of our tribal background. If a Bhittani has a Jat mother , he will be addressed as "that son of a Jat" whenever he will do some thing foul.......and they are biased and prefer to put their trust in their own , some times to the level of stupidity.

The most racism I've ever encountered was from Afghans. That being said, it was only ever on the internet. Most Afghans I've met in US from Masjid are super chill and want to make money and play basketball. Pakistani Pashtuns especially here in US are super chill and will only dislike you, If you are against Islam, but they are never racist.

Not sure how is it is else where. In NYC some of the best guys in street races are Pakistani Pashtuns and they are generally cool with other Pakistanis. Now Afghans in the city gravitate towards them and make friends with Pakistanis as well.

[Dost]

I think the reason Afghans and Pakistanis are close in the United States is the simple fact that we attend each other's Masjids. We feel more comfortable with each other compared to Arab mosques or Turkish jammis. I wouldn't say Pakistani and Afghan culture is the same, but it's the closest we got when it comes down to living in western countries.

Weddings and parties are not included, except for a few occasions, but overall religious engagements are shared between us as opposed to other Muslims.

Just my observations living in the tri-state area.

There's nothing to get mad about. You are who you are and nobody can take that away from you. If you get upset by trolls, it shows weakness. Take care bro.
