Talk:Arab
From RationalWiki
Redirecting this to a single nation-state, no matter that the Saudi state now encompasses the region where the idea of Arab identity first emerged (the idea of "Saudi Arabia" as a nation-state would be meaningless to the people who were around when "Arab" identity came into being...), is straight-up wrong, as bad a mistake as redirecting "Black" to "Africa" or "African-American" or redirecting "European" to "Germany." People from Morocco clear through to Oman and from Sudan to Syria, identify, or are identified, as "Arabs" in some contexts. B♭maj7 (talk) Anachronistically anachronistic 04:03, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
