Kiwi, I just find the chat about ethnicity a bit irrelevant in todays world. Does it matter?
Why cant we just accept people as people?
Someone wake up Bev from her rosy wet dream Pollyanna! The world is ethnically, racially, religiously, socially, economically, culturally, politically divided. How is this chat not relevant? |

| Fee's innuendo of her attraction is racist. Oh, first I was racist. Later, I am anti-arab. Now, I am obsessed with ethnicity. Sorry, but you don't make sense. Try some other topic. I am not obsessed with ethnicity. You are confused. It looks like you did not comprehend what is being said here. |

Hi Turk, Mauritanians see themselves as Arabs and have only recently officially stop slavery of Africans in their country. The Comoros Island are near to Zanzibar formerly a strategic part of the Arab slave trade route.Somalia is next to Yemen and obviously due to a ccombination of intermixing and slavery their cultures were Arabianized. Therefore over time Arabs, Arab Descendents and former Arab Colonies have gained membership into the Arab League because of they have assimilated into Arab culture. Of course this is a generalisation because in these regions there are still custodians of the indigenous cultures who claim their ethnic identities.
As MeMe said the bottom line is that people ares people.
That's why there should be zero tolerance to slavery.
