RationalWiki's 2019 Fundraiser

There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff – we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity.

If everyone seeing this today donates $5, we will meet our goal for 2019.

Fighting pseudoscience isn't free.
We are 100% user-supported! Help and donate $5, $20 or whatever you can today with PayPal Logo.png!

Donations so far: $2900Goal: $6000

Talk:Arab

From RationalWiki
Jump to: navigation, search

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.
