B4 Sep 11, we were 'White Muslims'?

[RIIGHAYE]

Though Arabs do look like Latinos, they worked hard to be placed under the categorization of White in job applications. And they proudly identify themselves as White Muslims.

Will Obama make them again Black Muslims?

Really , they check the white box ?
Gadam !!

[RIIGHAYE]

Of course, don't you know that?

[Advo]

lol, aniga I laugh at indhayar trying their best to be "white", why are people so fascinated on being called cadaan?

[RIIGHAYE]

Indhayars have pride and they consider themselves as Asians. But it's damn Arabs who consider themselves as White Muslims walaahi o bilaahi.

I was curious. Yeah man, this is indeed demeaning to one's origin and culture and it does signal inferioity complex. They simply don't know who they are. They are neither white nor black. They are quick to pick up the anti-black prejudice most common with early and recent immigrants and they disingenuously invoke an Arab grandparent to include themselves among the victims should the opportunity present itself.

It is sad. I remember being in Saudi and I couldn't believe the lengths some of these ladies would go to to look white. I was at a beauty salon and there was a dark skinned Saudi there getting ready for her weddin. Subhana'Allah she has so much white powder on her face that she looked whiter than me. I just don't get the mentality. Many times they would ask me where my husband was from, and when I would say Somali they would stand there puzzled. They they would rub their face and say "why". THen they would ask me if I loved him.

Unbelievable.

A good discussion here Are Arabs white?

Experience the self-doubts, the identity crisis of the Arab people.

Read the exchanges of Tootaa18 and Ruffgoat Ruffgoat who is Lebanese shuns to be called an Arab

You guys seriously need to grow up.

Riighaye, there are Arabs who are as white as southern Europeans like those who are Lebanase or Syrians.The rest of the Arabs people can be considered others and not pure whites.
Btw, your name seems like the name of a clan who live among the Rahanwayn and who claim to be Warsangeli Tarods.If that is right, where is your geneology connected to the Warsangeli geneology?.What about your people do they believe that they are Tarods/.

[Demure]

It's my believe most Arabs love to be gaalo-like. I remember back in Cairo, some of my class mates would argue that they weren't part of Africa but Middle East. They don't even want to be tied to black Africa.

Man do I dislike Arabs.
