    Please don't be offended, I don't mean to insult all...
    Lol aha in that case poor you! I get the same from my Norweigan cousins who try to speak my language and end up saying things like 'the weather today is full of goats' :p:

    Aha I wasn't offended previously or now I just thought I had better help the Pakistanis out I should send that picture to everyone who wears the scarf to rep 'Taliban' or any other retarded thing.

    Is Iran considered Middle-Eastern? I always thought they were a special case like the Turkish. I have both Arabic and Iranian heritage from a while ago but it is hidden in my family.


    My dad hates Arabs. :daydreaming:
    Yes Iran is in the Middle East and Arabs hate your dad. I'm just kidding.:lol:

    I swear, sometimes, I think people have read a little too much into Arabian Nights or something..... odd. :erm: I was sitting next to this random person, who happened to be Indian, at the Library, and here is how the conversation evolved...


    "Oh you Arab? Ohhh! I always wanted to meet one here. I never find."
    "Really? Wow...I wish I could avoid them that successfully."
    "Hah you funny...oh your so lucky...your skin is white but you're not white."
    "............ok."
    "Would you ever live in Dubai??
    "............maybe."
    "............with someone like me?"

    .... odd.
    :yep:

    yeahh
    half Sudanese Arab, half White British although to be honest I always identify myself as British Arab, I would never usually identify myself as White or Sudanese unless specifically asked, I don't feel I belong in those groups :dontknow:.

    Out of sheer curiosity... how many does TSR have? I found one fellow Iraqi... which I found quite cool. Any more? Have any of my wonderful Arab brethren also infiltrated the likes of TSR?

    * My ethnicity is mixed: Arab, Kurd, Turk & Persian. Luckily for me, they all LOVE each other so much, no conflicts, no problemos...[sarcasm]

    Yalla, beace out habibi. :cool:
    Oh no not another bogus asylum seeker. Go away and pack your troubles back to the middle east before I throw my shoe at you!:eek:
