I'm Canadian, my parents are both Indian, my great grandfather and his family came from Iraq. I look Arab, grew up around Arabs and honestly feel closer to Arabs than Indians/Pakistanis.
It's beacuse of this that I'm able to feel the way I do without I guess feeling lonely or like I don't belong to a 'group' . I'm not explaining that well but regardless.
I'm religious, grew up in an Islamic school and regularly study the religion. However I just feel 'angry' whenever I see Brown uncles with beards and shalwars walked around outside or even at the masjid. I feel like their whole concept of Islam is skewed and honestly like it's just there for show.
Most of the muslims I see not acting 'Islamic' or hypocritical are Brown people. Whether it's the way they talk or how they act or even the way they drive. That guy cutting me off is always some brown dude, doesnt help that there are so many of us where I live.
I just feel like they or we are so far behind amd aren't willing to learn, their countries are a mess and as someone who has visited and watches documentaries etc I know the people and their attitudes have a huge part to play. I look at my grandparents and see how they are and what their priorities are. It's all just pray and read quran yet they don't seem to act on many of the things the quran is telling them. From my experience the majority of brown people are like this either not religious or religious yet don't really know the real islam.
I know it has a lot to do with culture, but honestly all I can think is 'pathetic'. I don't want to be racist towards my own people, I know not all of them are like that and I know other races are like that as well, yet I can't help but want to distance myself from them.
