Calling on #PashtunTwitter to take part in this crowd sourced exercise to hashtag ( #PashtunsVilified) all possible orientalists' takes & stereotypes that vilify Pashtuns in one way or another. These can be in any medium, language or form.

Please take part and share with others.

Will make it easier to document these, and to analyze the motives and forces behind these takes by students, researchers and others.

In this thread, I'll share the few that I know.

'There is a boy across the river with a bottom like a peach,
But alas! I cannot swim.'

Did Khushal Khan Khattak really said this poetry?
