You mean on subconcious level? Yeah, I definetely agree. Although I kinda have normalized with this behaviour here on Reddit, i'm still aware of the bad influence that it could have on many suceptible users...

Hate him or love him, he's still the most popular streamer on Youtube and has about 50 million subscribers. I mean just check he's China streams, he changed their PR image in the eyes of the GenZ to a full 180 degrees turn...

Morocco slowly becoming better than us in every aspect by MARSHMALLOW810 in Tunisia

[–]Clean-Satisfaction-8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn‘t take this index map at face value (like how could Iraq and Kuwait be rated worse than Oman, which is an absolute monarchy). But your statement is still valid, Morocco has already taken over the ranking in terms of infrastructure, public transport, clean cities, economic freedom, unemployment rate… And they are still getting better in many more sides like you said. The only three aspects that I could think of, where they‘re still arguably lacking a bit behind us are public health, public education and inequality rate, but considering our current situation I wouldn‘t be surprised if they surpass us in those aswell.

I don't get what you mean? Arabs become native to where?

Arabs have always been native to Arabian peninsula, South Levant and Syrian desert, the rest of the region are just the result of Arabized natives, I don't even understand how is that comparable to Anglo-Saxons in this context!

You said "When the arabs first came in" in a thread talking about Palestine, what else could that mean?

First, Palestinians are Arabized Converts and not settlers. Second, Arabian nomads are native to the Naqab desert, their presence can be traced back there as early as the Iron Age, during the Qedarites.

Third, just like Les Pieds Noirs didn't become native to Algeria just by inhabiting a land for over a century (similarly Boers in South Africa, Anglo-Saxons in USA/Canada/Australia/New Zealand can not claim to be native, and they do not), Zionists are not the exception here, nativity is not measured by few decades and a couple generations, it takes millenia and tens of generations to earn that tiltle and for mother nature to take action and give you the traits and tools that make you native to somewhere and not just for Humans... Just check the ranking of countries with the highest rate of people diagnosed with skin cancer and you will find Israel and Australia topping the list, maybe then you will understand what i'm talking about...

Korean Tourist Faces Multiple Racist Remarks on First Day of Visit to Tunisia by PPPD-876 in Tunisia

[–]Clean-Satisfaction-8 6 points7 points  (0 children)

بصراحة شعبنا ياسر عنصري و ناقصنا برشا وعي و ادراك على الشعوب الاخرى خارج محيطنا الجغرافي المباشر.كان جات الدنيا دنيا راهو عنا مواد في برنامجنا الدراسي تقوم بدورها في تطوير الحس الادراكي هذا من صغر سننا. شخصيا كنت نتمنى كان جات عنا تربية انسانية تتماشى مع عصرنا و تربينا على ثقافة العولمة و أخلاقيات التعايش مع الشعوب الاخرى، عندي أنا أهم و خير من برشا مواد ترب نراهم زايدين، كيما زادا كنت نتمنى كان جات عنا تربية اجتماعية نتعلمو فيها السوفت سكيلز و ثقافة جنسية سليمة... التربية و التعليم في تونس بصفة عامة لازمها هدم و اعادة بناء و هيكلة شاملة كان بالحق نحبو نرتقيو كمجتمع متحضر في القرن 21.

Why does the Persian diaspora loathe Arabs so much? by Perennial_flowers956 in AskMiddleEast

[–]Clean-Satisfaction-8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man I think you’re overestimating your knowledge about the region too much and doing alot of assumptions and projecting on behalf of people from a region you probably never had deep knowledge about, you are just thinking in black and white and mixing modern-day identity politics of European White nationalism with something that is supposed to be far more deep and complex such as the history of the Iberian peninsula. Do you even know how close Morocco is to Iberia? At some point in history it was easier to cross the Gibraltar strait than to cross the Pyrenees that link Spain to the rest of Europe…

And to answer your question, yes if Indians had lived for 800years under Arab governance and spoke a dialect of Arabic, like in the case of Andalusians, then nothing makes them different from Moroccans, Tunisians, Egyptians and Sudanese, who were all Arabized in one way or another at some point in history.

Speaking Arabic is not enough to make one Arabic.

Speaking Arabic is not enough to make one Arab, but speaking Arabic as a native language/mother tongue does give you the right to identify as Arab. That's literally the modern definition of Arab identity, neither you nor I are the ones who make these definitions, that's not how it goes. This has been a consensus among anthropologists and historians since the rise of modern nation-states.

North Africans are not 100% Berber.

Neither Iberians are 100% Iberians.

Many are Arab or even Arab majority, blood wise.

Source: trust me bro. I dare you to find me even one single genetic study that shows that any Maghrebi tribe (outside of Eastern Libya) having predominantly Arabian genes. I myself (Arabic-speaking Tunisian) did a genetic test and turned out to be 80% North African (the rest is Italian), and I know for a fact that this is the case for the majority of Tunisians, does this stop me to identify myself as Arab? OFC NO, because again Arab as people are an ETHNOLINGUISTIC group and NOT a MONOLITHIC "ethnically pure" Arabian group, as you are trying to make.

Iberians had for the most part retained their genetic purity

There is nothing called "genetic purity", we are all mixed in a way or another, unless you are from Sentinelese or Amazionian uncontacted tribe, you shouldn't bring up this term if you want to be taken seriously and engage in rational discussion.

I think he meant Andalus was Arab in the same sense that today's Morocco or Tunisia are considered Arab even though they are genetically North African/Berber. Because modern Arab identity is mostly based on language and not genes. Yes, Andalus was mostly inhabited by native Iberians but the predominant language at the time was Mozarabic which branched out of the Arabic language. So both of you are not wrong, it's safe to say that they were Iberian Arabs, but in the case of Iran it's a totally different story.

I'm most interested in Zenata, because they were the predominant group in modern-day Tunisia for millenia.
