LOL

I know Asians are so flippin big headed : ) Especially the girls, we think we're allllll thattt

I dont know about Arabs. I've never met one in my life. I've seen some but didn't go up to them and beg friends like "Hi, I'm Priya, I'm Bengali, what about you?" LOL. I'm sure the girls think they're all that aswell

I think they have common threads like the closeness of the families, the interfering of the families *smile*, a very generous nature (being hospitable with guests for example), having some women in traditional roles, some in non-traditional, they face the same dilemma of raising good Muslim kids in the west, they both have a focus and emphasis on education. That's how I see it as someone who is neither Arab or from the Indian Sub-continent. BTW, is Desi a common term for people from the Indian Sub-continent? I always thought it was a derogatory term, like Paki. Am I mistaken?



Thanks dear for the clarification.

Yeah arab girls can be like that aswell, especially where I live. Sometimes they're even worse than the paki girls 'cos the arab girls already wear english clothes whereas paki girls normally wear asian clothes first and then move on to the english ones, so you get some arab girls that are really tarted up with the english clothes. And they think ALOT of themselves. But I've never really seen an arab girl with a paki guy. Usually it's the arab guys with the paki girls.

ok im a desi girl lol. but u cannot generalise all asian girls to be big headed!! its not like a racial trait! maybe YOU are bigheaded..lol.



again, you cannot make similarities between desis and arabs because every individual is different, personality wise too. in terms of religion, pakistanis and arabs are both muslims (most of them are) and are modest and respectable.

teh only nice arabs iv met have been from egypt.

moroccan girls think they ae all beyounce and Jlo and teh youger teenages think they are ciara especially teh ones who have similar complesion.

uuuuurgHHH sometimes im ashamed to be arab

just look at suga babes singer amel.. she is moroccan from tetoun near where im from, and she is sooo stuck up.... her head is so far up her backside!
