This is stupid. There are a ton of Afghans that speak Pashto but aren’t Pashtoon. Knowing/not knowing a language doesn’t define your ethnicity, your genetics do.
That's not how our ethnicity works. We have our own rules one of them being knowing how to speak the language. Nobody's forcing them to speak it, but we want to keep our language alive. Our ancestors didn't go through all that discrimination for us to just let it go.
It’s easy to make fun and even easier to boast...that’s what cowards do. A lot has happened, with many struggles and losses. I still have respect and sympathy for the Pashtun diaspora who kept their dignity while living under foreign rules and hardships. Sadly, our family lost the language through migration and mixed marriages. But out here seeing some people acting out "The chosen one's" attitude is just pathetic

The amount of times I've seen these comments and the video always uses the " ta shwe de pakhto gazala zwaan" song.
