you seriously do crazy stuff for others to question your background/nationality otherwise I alongside millions of South Asians are living in Europe since long time and nobody ever asked me about my background.Out here in Europe, folks ask me if I'm Pakistani. I make sure to tell them i'm Indian in no uncertain terms. For me personally, being considered a Pakistani makes me feel inferior - especially since people here attach so many negative connotations to your country.
I honestly don't hate pakistanis or pakistan - but I don't want to be considered as one either. I was depressed for while after coming here - because people immediately think i'm from pakistan without even asking me first. I'm getting used to it now - all I can do is keep telling people i'm Indian - and make it as apparent as possible.
