Wherever you go in the world, every place has its local stereotypes. The thing about stereotypes is that they create false perceptions that are detrimental to societal progress.
So, the best thing to do is laugh at the ridiculousness of these stereotypes.
1. Hijabis: All of them are very shareef and perfect obedient housewife material.
But what if one of them wants to become a Burqa Avenger?
2. Girls wearing jeans: *censored*.
Shame shame.
3. People who can’t read English: Paindoo.
Fun Fact: English is not our first language.
4. White skin: Desi Cinderella.
There is a reason why Fair and Lovely does so well in this country.
5. Dark skin: Not shaadi material.
Dark people be like “hum kale hain tou kya hua dilwale hain”.

Shareef insaan
