“Thank you for posting...Americans are so clueless about Middle East ethnicities and just assume they’re all “Arabs.”
Well there you go, assuming all Americans are clueless about the Middle East. Maybe you’re clueless about what American’s really think?
And what makes you confident that Americans *aren’t* clueless? Especially when you don’t give any evidence to the contrary.
I’ve talked to many people, seen many online comments here, read many articles, where people assume Iranians are Arabs. No not *everyone* thinks that, but given the distribution of people who do, it’s not off the charts to say that a large number of people don’t have a good idea of the diversity of the M.E.
