The growing community of Pakistani Texans

She went to Stony Brook and is also like part of the UN stuff for like pheminizm. So I am guessing some NGO stuff.


You were touring USA LA and Alabama LOL

Awww- Mumina...

I remember her from that "Afreen, Afreen" song in the Coke Studio Pakistan video...she has a nice voice.

Well - if she wants to settle in the US who can say no?

She probably wants to choose the relative seclusion and privacy, which is a change from her life as a mini celebrity in Pakistan.

I have personally never met one in my life. But, if its true then it may add to something about the link of minorities succeeding a lot in other countries.

You never met a ahmadiya (they're mostly involved in conversions- only Dabligis and Ahmedis do conversion efforts) or Karachiite?

Lol nah man, Pak has no such issues tbh

You'll find these celebrities walking around in malls etc, no one cares

It's not like they're genuine superstars or something?, or atleast no one treats them as such

As a young kid I remember my dad would take me to a Park where a lot of actors used to come for jogging

Being a conservative state along with a cheap cost of living makes it a good destination of Pakistanis. Along with no state tax you have one of the best homestead protections in the country after being a Texas resident for 3 years whereas creditors can’t take your sold place of living (only Federal govt. can for child support or back taxes). You remember the Enron case the executives kept their primary home in the end.

Conservative places in the US are highly Islamophobic unlike the liberal places.

Some of them are so clueless it's beyond belief. You ask an educated guy to point at China on a map, and they can't, that is US Middle class for you. Some of them are dumber than a second coat of paint.

An Arab Christian kid told a group of people that he speaks Arabic and is Christian, the white kids were totally shocked to the core and couldn't believe that the two are mutually inclusive LOL

Nah I have never met a Qadiyani. I've met quite a bit of Karachiwalas and Shias/Ismaili in schools hence that's why I said the latter 2 are smart and high achievers.

Well sorry to hear of your bad luck downtown, most people in LA wouldn't venture downtown unless for work. You ending up there was unfortunate.

Weather is nice, so it attracts the entire trash of the nation, homeless, druggies, zombies you name it. Giving money to these guys is always a no-no.

Pasadena is a nice suburb of Northern part and was famous because all the actors and Hollywood Moghuls used to have mansions there in the roaring twenties, during the Hollywood heyday.

Law and order is a number one concern wherever you go in LA and you have to have a local guide who will help you avoid the areas with trouble and steer you to the nice spots.

Below LA county, there are much nicer neighborhoods in Orange County (OC), and also San Diego (SD) County, which are the most ritzy areas that rival anything in the nation.

There are places like Newport Beach (OC),

and places like La Jolla (SD) which you have to see to believe.

There is also Catalina Island about 60 miles off the coast of LA, which is a nice getaway for the day,

You can take the Catalina flyer there which gets you there at about 60 Knots,

Why don't people move to vegas? Isn't it better and cheaper than California?

Both are islamophobic, in their own ways. Liberals are more closeted with it, cosnervatives are more outloud.

Yup, I had a Egyptian friend who was a Coptic Christian guy, same story, lot of Americans cannot fathom the intricacy.

Idk it seems weird because her dad was also in army. I don't think she was that big to the point where people would crowd her if they saw her.

Vegas is hotter than the devil's armpit. 110 degree F in the shade at mid-day.

Cheaper yes. But unless you work in a Casino, jobs are few and far between.

It's all about jobs at the end of the day....

There are only a select few group of people who'll get crowds
1- IK
2-Afridi
3- Nasir Khan Jaan

You can still reason with a liberal. MAGA idiots, no chance.

I saw a program today where Trump was attending his rally in IOWA.

Some of the MAGA people (and these are older people, supposedly with some wisdom and experience) were saying Biden is NOT their president, Trump is (though Orange monster lost the election).
