Racism
Racism is the belief that a particular race is superior or inferior to another, that a person’s social and moral traits are predetermined by his or her inborn biological characteristics. Racial separatism is the belief, most of the time based on racism, that different races should remain segregated and apart from one another.
Ethnic Jokes:-
An ethnic joke is a remark attempting humor relating to an ethnic, racial or cultural group,
Ethnic jokes have been around since people first noticed they were different from one another, and ethnocentrism and a sense of ethnic identity appeared. Jokes feed upon difference and distinctions (not only ethnic) and if one of the functions of ethnic jokes is to ridicule and depreciate these in-out groups, another function is to maintain and strengthen a sense of one’s identity in some in-group. It may be that ethnic humor helps people deal with hostility verbally instead of physically, but these slurs also reinforce stereotypes and sometimes lead to calls for violence. Ethnic jokes are often considered to be offensive and as a form of hate speech.
Racism Based On Ethnic Jokes in Pakistan:-
Pathan Jokes:-
In Pakistan and elsewhere in south Asia, a Pathan joke is an ethnic joke that is centred typically on stereotypes concerning Pashtun People. In Urdu, the word "Pathan" is used as a variant which loosely refers to Pashtuns or people who have Pashtun ancestry. Pathan jokes are controversial and are considered racist, offensive or inappropriate by many.
Pathan jokes are very popular kind of joke in Pakistan, everyone makes fun of them in messages, social sites, and also in practical life, it is a way to discriminate Pashtuns. Everybody speaks against racism without keeping in mind that it is a part of racism and also a real sin. Be careful because Small words affect a lot.
I believe discrimination still exists in society and we must fight it in every form.
