rank | Sat Feb 21 21:55:24 "true or false: Who is an Arab? "Arab" is a cultural and linguistic term. It refers to those who speak Arabic as their first language. Arabs are united by culture and by history. Arabs are not a race. Some have blue eyes and red hair; others are dark skinned; many are somewhere in between. Most Arabs are Muslims but there are also millions of Christian Arabs and thousands of Jewish Arabs, just as there are Muslim, Christian, and Jewish Americans. ChatGPT said True. Your statement accurately reflects the widely accepted understanding of what it means to be Arab: "Arab" is primarily a cultural and linguistic identity, centered on native use of the Arabic language. Arabs are not a race — they come from diverse ethnic backgrounds and physical appearances. Arab identity is shared through language, history, and culture, not biology. Religious diversity among Arabs is real and significant: while most Arabs are Muslim, there are millions of Christian Arabs and smaller numbers of Jewish Arabs, along with people of other faiths and none. |

rank | Sat Feb 21 23:14:35 An Arab is generally defined as a member of a Semitic ethnic group primarily associated with the Arabian Peninsula and broader Arabic-speaking regions....perplexity. None the less... |

rank | Sat Feb 21 23:20:21 An Arab means Arabic is their first language. The US also classifies them as white. In US clinical trials, the only country that uses the word "race" in those contexts, arabs, israelis, and north africans are classified as "white" |

If you ever venture in WMBW groups, you will see hoardes of middle eastern men "I am white man" literally....ironically none of the guys who are generally by social norms considered white say that. |

rank | Sat Feb 21 23:22:28 White being an idiotic term since, as mentioned, you probably have friends that are darker than my red-headed palestinian friend that you have never thought of as anything other than white - because your image of white in that situation is impacted by your thinking that "he's one of us. One of the same social and cultural class as me" |

rank | Sat Feb 21 23:37:00 You can find plenty of Jews in Israel that are very dark, which is confusing for thick-headed idjits like Psuedo-science Psam, so they tend to just stay away from that blow to their racial pseudo-science racist idiocy |

rank | Sat Feb 21 23:46:48 So, if Sam Adams or any of his Usian white supremacist buddies has dark hair and happily went off to join up with a scandinavian white supremacist gang who like to celebrate their proud, superior, white viking ancestry, they'd probably be told to get the fuck off their property, you fucking blackheads, before we smash your dirty blackhead faces in |

rank | Sun Feb 22 00:05:14 You wont see any dark-haired people among these swedish white supremacists. You'll see some people with brown hair at most, which is acceptable, but the darker hair you'll find loads of American white supremacists have isnt tolerated among the "vikings" https://youtu.be/esBkTFtVgIM |
