Pashtun and Afghan are the same thing. I only put the Afghan because that’s already a tag on here, while I don’t think Pashtun has a tag. Sorry for any confusion.
Well, there are many non-Pashtun Afghans.
I’m not sure what is the name of a citizen of Afghanistan versus the ethnic group. When someone says their ethnicity is Afghan, I assume they mean Pashtun, since the two terms have been historically interchangeable. I’m not a native English speaker either, so I’m open to being corrected.
Neiltennantoid? (Citizen of Afghanistan).
Says she’s Pashtun here: https://folaevanakingbola.tumblr.com/post/175750391336/hey-kaitlynn-how-do-you-knowwhere-did-you-see
Yes, it does appear her mother is Pashtun/Afghan.
Jameela’s maternal grandmother was Yasmin Quraishi.
I wonder which Indian ethnic group she belongs to. Pages always feel so incomplete when they just say “Indian” or “Native American”
