why are asians (pakistanis) all about money

Like i can understand some of their parents may come from poverished backgrounds and want their children to do well but whats with the showing off with money, cars and property? why do they always act better than each other ?

You are going to get destroyed here for making a negative generalization - even though what you say is very common.
idk i think its in the culture to show off what you have, like how much money you have is your value. but dont generalise
Just common in asian cultures

I'm Pakistani and I can list many examples of that you've said from 'my community' but I don't think you'll get any reason specific to why some pakistanis do this, it's the same reason why anyone shows off regardless of culture or skin colour.

They have small penises, so they have to have SOMETHING to attract the ladies with. Money works well.
Why are *some
Don't make generalisations
Pakistanis or rich pakistanis? Or it could be just rich people in general?

Pakistanis as a whole are not a rich or affluent community, so most will not have a lot of money, the ones who do probably are showing off because it's rare for them to have a lot of money and also being arrogant.
Idk man, they give me 25p less of the amount I need back when I'm in the corner shop to save them more money

It's the difference between the Kennedy family and the Kardashians.

Some do have this mentality, yes. Certainly I'll likely have more money than b my peers, but I'd much rather invest that cash
Wow :laugh: this thread is ignorant
What's really funny is majority of Pakistanis are Muslim,
Islam teaches (or is supposed to) humbleness, and the dangers associated with pride, arrogance and boasting.

Personally I think it'd be naive to consider it an ethnic thing,
probably has much more to do with upbringing, social groups, influences etc etc..

You are a product of your environment :^_^:

Also, tbh I quite like having a large safety net, and I know that this way I can help parents too.

I know right.

This one Pakistani asked me if I was Pakistani due to me having a Muslim name!

I hate when Pakistanis think all good looking dark haired men are Pakistani like them.:colonhash:

It offended me.:shock:
