Is Arab a race?

[Rusty0]

I see racism is not allowed on this forum but I see tons of post against Arabs.

So are Arabs their own race? You get different cultures of Arabs, Different religions etc...
Are they their own race?

You get black, white, Asian. So im sure Arab is a race?

Simply put, I'd say no they are not a "race".

Depends. Ethnically they can be Semites.

Not separate race as Caucasian, black, Indian, East Asian, but different ethnically to Europeans, Africans, East Asians, etc.

Racism need not be about the 4 major groups, it may be about ethnicity.

The Anglo-Boer War was a "race" war at the time, or racism was the interaction between English and Afrikaaners.

It's no more a race than Dutch people or Germans are a race.

Maybe a culture would be a better description?

I finally figured out how to write Rusty0 his position.
He wrote them in English, Google will convert them to China, then Google will convert them back to English.

Not quite.

Dutch is closer to Russian than they are closer to Syrian or Assyrian.

In your example Dutch and German are both from Germanic groups.

Why lock it down? It's an interesting question and there's not an obvious answer.

Maybe, just maybe, folks should stick to answering and debating the actual question posed and forget about ad hominem attacks and derailments.

There is an obvious answer. It's defined by western scholars and govts. He is in a western society.

Problem he has another agenda and made an accusation without backing it up with any proof.

Of course there is an answer.

As such, Arab identity is based on one or more of genealogical, linguistic or cultural grounds,[15] although with competing identities often taking a more prominent role,[16] based on considerations including regional, national, clan, kin, sect, and tribe affiliations and relationships.

Arabs may be a diverse group, like Europeans, but they have more in common among each other.

When people attack Middle Eastern residents you have to ask what people mean by it. Often they are attacking the stereotypical brownish, dark eyed, person. Of course ethnicity - and so race - plays a role.

Yes... so all Arabs belong to the same race?

Interesting. So, a white American can be racist to a white Brit.

I gotta wrap my mind around that as I have always been taught it's bigotry.

More importantly - are there any men in the women's race?
