I know exactly what you mean. When you cross the line you will find people bragging and boasting about being Noorzai, Achakzai, Kakar etc. The point is Tribal Nationalism is something that should not be commended, we should push forward an idea that unites us all under the Pashtun banner.Even Adobe Photoshop can't change me.
A line[Durrand line] of hatred that raised a wall between the two brothers -Hamid Karzai
For generations, the Hindus of India prayed for deliverance from "the venom of the cobra, the teeth of the tiger and the vengeance of the Afghan."
The men of Kábul and Khilj also went home; and whenever they were questioned about the Musulmáns of the Kohistán (the mountains), and how matters stood there, they said, "Don't call it Kohistán, but Afghánistán; for there is nothing there but Afgháns and disturbances." Thus it is clear that for this reason the people of the country call their home in their own language Afghánistán, and themselves Afgháns. The people of India call them Patán; but the reason for this is not known. But it occurs to me, that when, under the rule of Muhammadan sovereigns, Musulmáns first came to the city of Patná, and dwelt there, the people of India (for that reason) called them Patáns—but God knows!

The president of Afghanistan belongs to the Popalzai tribe. The minute he took over, many in Quetta and Kandahar were boasting about being Popalzais.
Get it now? A Pashtun is arguing with another Pashtun on how great his tribe is since the president is from his tribe.Even Adobe Photoshop can't change me.
