Hate being British Pakistani female

But are there any female Pakistani role models young girls can look up to?

All my relatives are married to their cousins.

Apart from the boxer Amir Khan — and he really doesn’t have universal appeal — we have none. I’m not talking about ‘successful people’ here, I mean genuinely famous ones. On the Wikipedia page for ‘List of British Pakistanis’ our famous ones include a fictional television character, a Michael Jackson impersonator and someone called Nigel Le Vaillant.

Maybe Zayn Malik who is half white. But are there any female Pakistani role models young girls can look up to?

Baroness Warsi?

I swear Malala Yousafzai is one big one

Marry a kuff, get some gora in the family line.

I myself am not pakistani (im an indian muslim) but have worked with a lot of pakistani girls (and am from luton so theres tonnes of asians) and I agree to an extent. Pakistani men do treat their women like **** tbh and it kinda gives muslims in general a bad name (in asia its a problem in general but pakistanis are kinda the ones Ive seen most). same time, a lot of pakistani girls I know kinda are the ones who get into a lot of trouble as well (namely a lot of pakistani women I have encountered are on antidepressants and antipsychotics) which again, I blame the pakistani men for (i work in health/social care so I do encounter a lot of people).

imho, try marrying a nice bloke asap and do your own thing. a lot of girls from communities with arranged marriages always think that if their parent say get married to x, get married to x (likewise for guys) . truth is the qur'an has a lot of surahs which specify both parties need to consent (ie bride and groom) and you shouldnt force people to do something they dont want to. same story with the bhagavad gita (hindu holy text - sorry for spelling errors), bible, torah, and guru granth sahib (sikh text - again, sorry for spelling)

My best friend is a British Pakistani and in my experience she is the nicest person I've met. I know you feel as though it's as though no one likes you, but you have to understand that under such a xenophobic society there's going to be haters. I appreciate the religion and ethics in your religion and I just want to let you know that no you're not hated. In fact, there's more people out there who like you
Secondly there are so many successful Pakistanis and they don't necessarily have to be celebrities. Remember that. Also those negative stories you see are the press's way of twisting reality and turning it into juicy gossip. Don't be put off and feel negative about it. They fail to mention the better things
Also I understand, as an Asian, that it can be hard to stick by traditions and morals and be a 'sweet' girl. I know it's hard and the only advice I can offer is to stand up for yourself but I also understand this is very difficult in a family with customs
I just want you to know that you're not thought any less of or hated just because you're Pakistani. Some people just fail to appreciate how diverse the world is and it's their problem, not yours

If only I was allowed to

Well, i couldn't agree more. What do we pakistani women do exactly? Nothing.
Live with our parents till we're married off, have kids, cook, clean, grow old and die.

I know loads of muslims. Arabs, Indian, African etc. But they all hate muslims from Pakistan as they give muslims a bad name.

Don't get me wrong, I think you should be proud of yourself, but you can't live your parents live.

Brit Pakistani have to be one of the Uncoolest people to be in the UK today. No one likes us. Nothing cool about us. Sexist controlling men(from my own experience) Nothing positive about us in the media. No famous female British Pakistani role models-no famous pak Brit females full stop. So many negative news stories e.g, grooming, gangs etc

We're crap at sports apart from cricket. Our food is good but it will always be called "Indian food".

All my relatives are married to their cousins. Therefore family want me to marry my cousin from a village in pak FML. Brb living under parent rules when young. Brb living under husbands and in laws rules when married off. Brb no freedom. Brb no self expression allowed esp if you're female. Brb compulsory to cook and clean for a girl.

On top of that coming from a Muslim background people are suspicious of us.
