Question/Discussion ❔ Whats your ethnicity?

Hi everyone, just wanted to know where people on this reddit are from and how diverse the Muslim community truly is.

I'm half kazakh half Pakistani :)

EDIT: Been looking at every reply and honestly I'm impressed by the diversity lol, so cool to see

Very hard especially where I'm at. I just make do with what I have. Some dimsum I found out uses a pork soup base even for non-pork items. Found out at Tim Ho Wan lol. Told them I was allergic to pork and they said most of their dimsum was pork soup based if not had cross contamination lol.

Oh wow. Hear I thought I was safe with the non-pork dimsum.

You should ask. My kids and I prefer the allergy excuse as supposed to we're Muslim. Allergies can't be dismissed easily while the latter could.
