The anti-Punjabi accusations filling my newsfeed are REALLY getting to me.
You know why? It's because after dissing Punjabis for voting for PML-N, people are going on to congratulate Pathans for being smarter than Punjabis because in the KP province PTI has made a clean sweep.
What they don't get is that, for KP, it was a very natural decision to make. Imran Khan is Pathan. People in KP are of his ethnic background. The same mentality that makes the majority of Sindhis to choose PPP or the majority of 'Mohajirs' to choose MQM is what made KP choose PTI. This is the mentality we have to fight against, not applaud even more. For me, those people who voted for PTI despite being Sindhi/Punjabi/Baloch etc...are the ones who must be given a standing ovation. Those people broke the rusty and stale tradition of voting for people based on a similar ethnic background, and instead, voted for values and principles they believed in.
I have a ton of Punjabi friends who all voted for PTI. Even if they hadn't it wouldn't matter, because you can't blame and put down an entire ethnic background for their decision making, their choice, and their right, if it happens to differ from yours.
