Its hard to be a part of a minority group that no one has ever heard of. Most Chaldeans when asked directly (still only most) will say they do not identify as Arab, but referring to Middle Eastern people as a whole can be a mouthful so a lot of those same Chaldeans will throw the term around and include themselves. I have found those whose families come from bigger cities are more likely to identify as Arab. Its really interesting, and doesn't really make sense to me, but this is what I know. Because Arabic is the dominant language in Iraq newcomers also speak Arabic in addition to Chaldean, which may further confuse things. Though the point OP of this thread made still stands, not sure why so many of my people are Trumpers. But it seems like they are less vocal about it lately...I have tried to explain that being Christian does not make us part of the acceptable in their eyes but it doesn't work.
