Pathan joke explained

A "Pathan joke" is a derogatory joke that is typically centered around ethnic stereotypes about Pashtun people.[1] The word "Pathan" (as opposed to the endonym "Pakhtun") is a Hindi word[2] [3] [4] and it refers to Pashtuns or people who have Pashtun ancestry. Pathan jokes are controversial and are often considered racist, offensive or inappropriate by many in Pakistan and India.[5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] .
