^ The difference here is that even Pakistani Pukhtoons call themselves Pakistani (except for the exceptions), so why shouldn't they be referred to as one? I have met Pekhawris who felt insulted when I asked them whether they are Pukhtoons, no joke. Afghans on the other hand aren't all about Kabul, not that there is anything wrong with being a Kabuli. As for those who call Pukhtoons Pakistanis just a 'Pakistani', usually those elders aren't even interested in Durrand Line. In all fairness, the only people I personally have seen talk about Durrand Line is just a very few Pukhtoon youth, I can't remember I ever heard an Afghan elder recall Durrand Line? I guess that's the reason they don't feel close enough to Pakhtunkhwa? Like you mentioned Afghan Pukhtoons considering Tajiks as their brothers, all my mother's sisters are married to 'Farsiwanan', and that also type of people who hate anything associated with Pakistan with all their heart. They consider Pukhtoons who call themselves Pakistani to be 'beghairat' who have been enslaved by the Punjabis. To be honest, even my in-laws are like that where I had a heated argument with my sisters-in-law who were making fun of people of Pakhtunkhwa. Whatever the non-Pukhtoon relatives of my may think, all I am happy about is that I have been able to successfully change the minds of my Pukhtoon family and relatives regarding people of Pakhtunkhwa. And to be honest, that's all I care about.

I really don't understand what you are trying to say?
@Leonine
I don't need to worry about that.
