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][excessive citations].
