I have noticed that some places around the world dont get into racial disputes as much as the U.S. It seems like in some places in the world unless your obviously black, your just plain white lol. So tell me nihil, in the UK, if you were, say...Iraqi or Iranian, you would be labeled white for the most part?
Yes that would be correct, both are white.........all arab nations are white, Indians and Pakistanis are not, yet we (Europeans) are genetically the same as them, and the semitic races are slightly different................but you said "Iranian" and "Iraqi".............that is a bit different?
Like "are you sunni..............or are you a moslem?"
I am a Christian personally, but I appreciate the distinction above :D
Cheers
BTW.........Iran was "Persia" in the old days?
How are the semetic races different? What are the semetic races? All I can think of are Jewish people. And why would it make a difference if they were moslem or sunni?
Yes, I know Iran used to be Persia, I have an Iranian friend but he sometimes refers to himself as being Persian.
In the U.S. a lot of students don't pay attention to geography. So when I say I'm Turkish, they get it confused with places like turkmenistan or they think it's in europe near hungary lol. So I get alot of different and interesting feedback.
