Can one become a Kurd (by race)

[MustafaTekin]

Sometimes i wish i was born into a kurdish family. they are so cool. unlike turkics (original turks), kurds didn't lose their fighting spirit..

[Kamal900]

Well, MENA peoples in general can assimilate to the Kurdish culture and identity, so..

[MustafaTekin]

I have read a lot of Persian literature (masnavi, hafez, khayyam, saadi, shahname), but hardly know anything about the Kurds. I am ashamed of this.

I'm 25% Kurdish. I like some patriarchal side of them.

No. Kurds are very tribalistic: Much less loose than our turkic tribes.

Lucky bastard.

I heard that if a kurdish man rapes his daughter. no one blames him. they actually blame the girl because she didnt resist. father comes above everything else in a traditional kurdish family.

[lameduck]

yeah one must have indo-Kurd ancestry for that/

No. Kurds are very tribalistic

Actually, many Turkomans in east were Kurdified. They don't have literal tribes, they are very mixed. Turkish Kurd is genetically different than Iraqi or Syrian ones. But, they have feodalism which is gradually collapsing.

Lol, bad for them. I don't feel Kurdish though. It's only my paternal grandmother from Erzurum Kurds.

Okay makes sense. That's why turkish kurds score some mong.
But they are still not as different than the respective turkic people (Turkey, Azerbaijan, Qashqai, Turkmens, Balkan Turks ...)
