The following in no particular order, is a list of 30 of the stupidest things (you probably guessed from the title) that people have said to me. A lot of them have been said to me from different people on more than one occasion and most of them are questions:-
- Are you going to have an arranged marriage?
- Isn't it against your religion to eat meat?
- It's not like I'm racist, I've been out with a coloured guy before.
- You're Pakistani/Muslim aren't you?
- Being Indian and Pakistani are the same thing aren't they?
- Isn't it against your religion to work in a pub?
- Is your surname poppadom? (My reply to this was "Is your surname 'dirty Ashton slag'?")
