Do you mean Ayesha Takia? I've always wanted to poke her.
There's a user called Ayesha Takia on Wikipedia who claims to be her (although I'm not completely sure):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Ayesha_TakiaI wouldn't buy that...Knowing how many people use that it can be any ajibsa you see

But why do you want to poke her?

Indians are AsianI think that South Indian girl might have some Northeast Indian descent (we don't know if her mother is from the northeast) or possibly even some Malay descent via Sri Lanka.
Northeast Indians might be offended at being described as "Chinese" (but so would any non-Chinese Asian for that matter).
What Swathi said, I meant stereotypical Asians, Chinese.

Are your personal experiences with Pakistanis based on real life or online forums? As a Bengali, I haven't experienced any prejudices from Pakistanis (except for school, but most school kids are ignorant by default anyway). Also, there are plenty of Pakistani men who like Bollywood actresses more than their own Lollywood actresses (even the ones who diss Indians on other forums).
Personal. I have a lot of Pakistani and Bengali friends. I only had one Indian friend oddly enough.
All my Pakistani friends that were male liked Bollywood actress', which is why I was telling Swathi about some of the people I know aren't like how she mentioned, but some did make some sly Bengali jokes (like calling them kaala and stuff like that) but they still got along with them.

I remember the last time you were here, you were proud of your Polynesian roots but were denying your Asian roots? What was all that about? And were any of your parents Muslim or are you a convert? I always thought Islam was rare in Korea and Polynesia?
Well Ive come to terms with my makeup, I cant change it. Not saying that if God asked me to be full Polynesian I wouldn't change it, but theres nothing to get riled up about.
Im the only Muslim in my family. I used to ask my Muslim friends about Muslim but you know how people are with religion, it's all just tradition. My paki friends dont even understand what they are saying when they are praying...so ya....had to discover things on my own. Most "muslim" people I know have sex, drink sharab, smoke, etc. but they are nice people to me so Im cool with them regardless.
Polynesians are mostly Mormon from what I have seen.
Last time I checked, Islam was gaining some rise in Korea. I was surprised, but I guess thats what happens when you go to Iraq. The problem is whether there is a mix of Shia and Sunni there...probably get factions in the army itself!
Speaking of factions, I didnt know Jinnah was a Shia...wow.

RACE is very complicated ... we really cannot make any sort of assumptions..
Jagger ofcourse pakis love bollywood actress who would'nt but then they also diss them calling blacks and say if they are fair it is bcause of bleach and tonnes of make up while their lollywood actress are pure aryan white etc.. and if the actress is bengali/south indian then the words are very offensive.. Jagger i have lived with pakis all my life my childhood was spent in dubai.. i know how they treat bengalis and south indians..
Its funny that you bring that up swathi. I remember when I was with two friends and we were talking about Rani Mukherjee. Im not sure if it was about Bunty aur Baubly (sorry if I didnt spell it right) and I asked if she was Bengali. One of my friends said yes and my other friend was like, "O my..". Then my friend said, "Look at her last name...Muukhherrjee". Then the other dude was like, "THAT MUST MEAN KAJOL IS BENGALI TOO!". So ya, just thought Id add that in.
I find Lollywood actresses quite attractive as well.
As far as Dubai, I know of two Pakistanis that left here to go there. Id like to go there but not too sure in regards to how they treat women and all there.
