We know that people of Bantu origin got absorbed and assimilated over time into the Sindhi, Gujarati and Baloch nations - they were already assimilated by Arabs before that. After Baloch, the next nation are Pashtuns (geographically).
Sibbi in Balochistan is almost equally Pashto and Balochi speaking (Brahui and Sindhi are also represented). A rapper from Sibbi recently became popular. He is actually of African appearance yet his last name is Brohi (Brahui). He speaks Sindhi natively, followed by Urdu, Balochi and Pashto - he was employed by a Pashtun as a sales assistant in a store for a time. He does not speak Brahui. But that is his last name, hence tribal identity. None of the other Brahuis seemed to mind that an guy who looks Black, who can't speak the language, still claims their ethnicity.
Do you think this could have been possible if this guy did the same with a Pashtun tribe? EG if his last name indicated Kakar or Atsakzai or Kharoti and he was black and couldn't really speak Pashto, would you still accept him?

Also, I heard somewhere that the Pashtunised Kutani gypsy Jatt tribe of Zarsanga Bibi is also of an African origin - can anyone educate me on this matter? I thought Kutani were Indic aboriginals like the Bheel or Banjaras.
Their language is a blend of Marwat Pashto and various Saraiki and Rajasthani dialects.
Notice how Zarsanga and Khan Taseer look different from the Rababi:
