Misperceptions... things will change with Joe and Kamala. 11.november.2020 Comment sent to Zehra Shallwani in Pakistan (edited). "Perceptions can start wars. I fear American xenophobia and islamophobia. Not as bad as Hungary or Slovakia but they can't nuke the world; the US most definitely can. There is hope here... especially with Kamala as vice-president. She brings a sensitivity to South Asian culture. Yes, I know Pakistan and Bangladesh aren't India but her cultural sensitivity may help. Hopefully she gets to visit all three nations. If Buttigieg becomes our ambassador to the UN that will be interesting as well as he speaks Arabic and can address the UN in Arabic. Biden? He likes to smooth things over. He needs to invite Republican members of Congrees for a chat to build bridges. His Cabinet/advisors will be much more diverse than the last 4 years. Expect women in numbers never seen before. What does this have to do with the women in Pakistan? The more women in "power" globally shifts the paradigm. Men no longer get to ignore them. Each country struggles with its own darkness, but the 'light' is but a dawn away and the sun will come up tomorrow." 669 |
