huma abedin south asian

Submitted by authenticook (United States), Jul 15, 2011 at 20:09

huma abedin's mother is pakistani and her late father was a indian muslim. that makes her south asian not iranian. Since i am from that region---just from her name and also the way she looks---it is obvious that she is south asian. She grew up in Saudi arabia and as a result is fluent in arabic. Her mother is a professor at a Saudi university and also wears the hijab.
