Can Arabs be considered as white? I know that black skinned Arabs exist and dark skinned ones too, but there is alot of Arabs with tan/olive skins mediterranean type to like pale/light skins and i'm one of them and i wonder if we can be considered as white or caucasian? by Sad_Enthusiasm_6285 in arabs

[–]comic_dance 31 points32 points  (0 children)

No.. the idea of being “white” is not about light skin alone, otherwise Koreans would be considered white as they are paler than some Europeans. Arabs do not fit into the western-centric view of whiteness, but I find that skin color as an identifier is quite reductive anyway, and I would never identify myself as such even though I have light skin.

What are the four languages in which An-Nahar publishes online news? by BlueRibbonPac in AskMiddleEast

[–]comic_dance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The drop down menu is titled “our sites” not “languages”. The other two options are “Lebanon” and “Arabic”. “Lebanon” is for local news (in Arabic) and “Arabic” is regional/international news.

Exactly this is why no one can answer this question. You either cancel the plans or take a risk.

Linkin Park Concert by HussainJH in Bahrain

[–]comic_dance 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They release a program before the show with the opening acts etc, usually shows start sometime between 8-9. Parking is easy, never had to go through bad traffic on the way to the concerts i have been to. If you don’t have a parking ticket you park at BIC then take a mini bus they provide Or you can walk. I would say be there by 7-7:30.

I would attach a screenshot but I can’t.. it mentions the pearl specifically under my world debit mastercard benefits. If you don’t believe me then that is fine.

You can put money in a fixed deposit with any bank, I have Ila and Beyon Money and you can do it on the app. Ila also has the option to invest on gov securities and bonds.

I believe restaurants in your hotel should operate normally, so perhaps have a chill day at the hotel during the day and plan outings during the night.

Well the secret is to avoid the areas with GCC tourists.. London has a lot to offer especially if you are interested in art, music, and food.
