To all American Moroccans: How do we fit ?

[farid_h]

Envoyé par Averoes Just try to look at it this way, we are God's chosen people, we are in America for a mission, to control USA and thus control the world. one day, we will have a Moroccan in the white house. yes we can.

Yeah! Hurray to that!

Just do us a favor: let it not be H2, Reloaded, 'kay? I'd hate to see RTM-style news all over CNN, NBC, ABC, Fox, ... with the reading of all those thousands of routine congratulation telegrams being sent or received to or from other Heads of States. [b]That[b] would be a cruel and unusual punishment!

Envoyé par MOROCCAN00 b3ntcasa I hate to assume here, but i'm assuming that u are a girl, and u are somewhere here in the US...where there arent too many Moroccans. If i'm wrong on that one, I apologize. Talking about my experience, when i first got here, i had the same feeling as you did after the first 4 months honey moon....the second year that's when i started mingling around and getting used to life. After that i established myself both financially and emotionally(found my other half). And guess what i cant live or breath anywhere else but in here where i live. I do go back to Morocco over two times a year, and to my surprise i feel homesick when i am in Morocco. Now my approach on this matter is this, god didnt create us as human beings to a designated spots on earth. If al 9adar and machi2at Allah wanted u, to live somewhere else be it, and enjoy it to the fullest. Do not be miserable thinking that u cant live where u are and keep dreaming about going back to ur home country. And far as getting together with other Moroccans, let me tell you this.....u dont have to buddy with every Moroccan you meet here in the US, same if u are back home....we are different, we come from different backgrounds, we have different approchaes to things. And that's what creates problems between Moroccans abroad. U feel obligated to become a friend with every single Moroccan u come across fel ghorba. Other than that, a forum can be a good window for a breather.

this is so true, although not all expat moroccans can be your freinds, some could be. but still we share a common heritage and culture and somtimes religion. its a way of life.

I second that....
Although on the criteria (religious) very disappointing, aint an angel myself too.
And the mistake that most of Moroccans abroad make, is that they have to have Moroccan friends no matter what are the differences, and when the clashes starts happening one start stereotyping, all Moroccans are this all Moroccans are that.....
Who didnt hear before leaving lablad, stay away from k7al rass, stay away from lmgharba, rah ghir lmachakil and so forth???

And let's not mix up gathering and social events with friendships. And if one have to have a group of friends that he sees and do things with. U gotta be careful, picking ur mate is almost like picking ur future wife .

Other than that, love u all Moroccans out there.
