The context of this is quite horrific a quote is where Amir is chatting with Assef when they’re older, and Assef explains to him how he feels when putting down Hazara people. Furthermore, if Hassan were born to a Pashtun group, Assef would have no intent on committing something as bad as rape to Hassan and Amir.

The closest term in the lexicon of our racial language in the U.S. that I would be able to relate to is “Arab”—on the basis of having the same religion but not the same culture. Afghanistan is neither considered an Arab country nor can it be considered Asian. Being a third cultured kid, I have always…

American Society is one of the societies that have a large number of population diversity that have different racial groups, ethnicity, culture and background. Therefore, it is expected to have a large number of mixed-race marriages, but in reality, what would happen if two people from a different racial group, each from a single parents race, decided to cross the color line of their racial group and marry?
