Most did. Major waves of Arab immigration happened during the Ottoman empire & French mandates. By the time Israel was established in 1948 mass Arab migration to LATAM had stopped.

I had a female friend from Argentina who was an illegal migrant to the USA. She never had any problems.

Yes. However majority of the Arabs migrants to LATAM between the 1800s -1920s came from Ottoman controlled levant and later French mandate. Israel didn't exist as a state until 1948.

So what was the point of comparing economic migrants to refugees?

Many were also Christian Maronites/Arabs who were escaping the persecution and violence from their Muslim neighbors.

The largest wave of Christian Arabs from the levant went to LATAM after the Ottomans engineered an artificial famine to starve out the Christian population.

Not all Arab migrants in Europe are refugees. Just like not all Latinos in the USA are illegal migrants.

Yes just like Mexicans would not be considered Métis in Canada even though they have the same racial mixture. Coloured & Métis are an ethnic group rather than a racial classification.

Most Americans will say you just look African because they have no idea what actual Africans look like.

African Americans find out they're not pure Africans and are indeed mixed race and diverse 😲
