What Is Your Race If You Were Born In Pakistan And One Of Your Parents Is From Iran And The Other Is Pakistani?


I need to fill out a form where Pakistan is considered Asian (part of the Indian subcontinent) and Iran is considered White (Middle-Eastern). What should I fill in?

    Pakistan PM Banazir Bhutto was like that. With Iranian Mother Nusrat and Pakistani Father Bhutto.

    Asian most likely…..or it they have an “other” spot, and you can fill it in yourself, then just put in “Pakistani-Iranian descent.
    I guess you could put Multiracial, but people usually assume that to be Black/White or Black/Hispanic etc.
    Technically, people from Pakistan are of different races, I believe that the Pastuns in the North are technically white according to the census, the Sindhis are considered “Asian”.
    idk…..I also am kind of in the same situation as you, but for me, it was some of my grandparents who were from Iran, and both of my parents were born in Pakistan…..I put “Asian” as my race.

    i cant believe either is asian or white… but i’d put other and call yourself something like pakiran… in the states were so mixed up me and my friends made up stupid names based on both nationalities
    or if you identify with paki then choose it or choose Iranni if thats what you feel closer to

    you can fill in whatever you choose. Asian, white or other.. or whicher one you relate to more. And middle-easterners are part of the asian race mostly, or am i mistaken?

    You are considered caucasian. Technically atleast. What type of Pakistani are you? If you are Pashtun then you are purely Iranian and thus Caucasian.

    Technically you can fill in whatever you want, but if I were you, I’d fill in “Other” or “Asian” as they make the most sense.

    Pakistan has many races so you could be from any race in Pakistan.
    Iranians are Aryans though, so you could write down Aryan or Asian since the area technically is South-East Asia.

    I would put it down as which country you were born in. That is your nationality.
