Pathan joke

In Pakistan and elsewhere in South Asia, a Pathan joke is an ethnic joke that is centred typically on stereotypes concerning Pashtun people. [1] In Urdu, the word "Pathan" is used as a variant which loosely refers to Pashtuns or people who have Pashtun ancestry.[2][3] Pathan jokes are controversial and are considered racist, offensive or inappropriate by many.[4][5][6][7][8][9]
