Not only gulf Arabs but peninsular Arabs in general.

Yeah i actually meant Arabian Peninsula, i wrote gulf by mistake.

Which MENA groups do you believe should be kept out of the USA at all costs? I think first focus should be on preventing Gulf Arabs such as Yemenites from invading ollowed by Syrians, Lebanese, Egyptians,Turks, then lastly Iranians and Afghans.

I mean ideally it would be great if none of those groups were here but we have to be practical here.

Muslims as a whole have no place in America. The worst MENA group I can think of would be the SSA admixed North Africans who are causing so many problems in Europe. Best would be Christian Levantines.

I always heard that Lebanese, especially Christians, were not Arab. My mum doesn't call herself Arab, she'll just say Lebanese. Phoenician heritage is definitely acknowledged more. I see Arab as more of a cultural and linguistic thing though...like the way Hispanic is. I have friends from mexico who are native american, but call themselves latino/hispanic because their country is spanish speaking.

Since I speak Arabic I don't have a problem being called Arab, even though I know the majority of my genetic makeup is not Arab.

Arab is cultural term yes. However in your case you might have Arabian ancestry from the Ghassanids and of course Levantine peoples. You show slight Arabid traits. Not to mention the Ghassanid intermixed also with Byzantine nobility. Some Lebanese Christians are even from the Banu Makhzum a clan of Quryaish that left Islam for Christianity.That said I don't mind if people don't want to identify as Arab but to use it at of self-hate and hostility is very wrong and demeaning and it comes out of hostility and to some extent envy toward the people of the Arabian peninsula, and also to try to connect with Europeans as if they are kin, just shows colonial mentality and sense of inferiority not referring to you, but to this idiot Nassim.

Agreed. But I dont feel any special connection to the last, but that's because I'm not a Christian. So I say keep them out too.

I'm fine with Middle Eastern Christians and Jews in America but most Muslims should stay out

The only immigrants I believe America should be accepting right now are White South Africans and Rhodesians. They're of good stock and being treated terribly under black majority rule.

There is significant Yemenite Jewish community in Brooklyn

I'm fine with a very limited amount of immigration from other Western countries. What harm will a couple thousand Irishmen, Australians, or Serbians do?
