In this insightful episode of the AwJiz Boys podcast, the hosts delve into the complexities of balancing dual identities within the Afghan community, particularly focusing on the challenges of doing business with fellow Afghans. They explore the cultural nuances and personal experiences that often lead to a hesitancy in mixing business with personal life, especially within their own community. The AwJiz Boys share compelling stories about the difficulties they have faced when engaging in business with other Afghans, emphasizing a common sentiment of mistrust and the tendency to "bite each other's hands," metaphorically speaking. This discussion opens up into a broader conversation about the reasons behind such behavior, attributing it to the brokenness experienced by the diaspora, which perpetuates a cycle of competition and betrayal rather than cooperation and support. The AwJiz Boys also question the cultural practices back in Afghanistan, pondering, "What do people in Afghanistan do?" This rhetorical question leads into a deeper examination of the survival tactics developed in response to decades of conflict and migration, which might contribute to the defensive and often secretive behaviors observed in the diaspora. The episode also tackles the concept of a 'double life,' where Afghans might outwardly conform to cultural expectations at social events while secretly engaging in behaviors considered taboo, like sneaking drinks outside venues. The AwJiz Boys humorously and thoughtfully discuss how these actions reflect broader issues of identity and authenticity among Afghans trying to navigate two worlds.
