Sorgul - what you are saying is that you don't indetify with the strings attatched to the term "white"... Neither do I...

Our people never did slavery on the black because they were black... Our people didn't join the crusaders to attack the peacfull solution in Jerusalem... Our people didn't colonize the world and make others suffer for their imperialism...

I can understand why you say so... But if you take a physical look at us and those who are called "white"... You will notice they are realy "Pink"... and we are "white"... Well mostly.. In the Northern Kurdish areas anyway...

" caucasuian" does not just mean the color white
if it did then they would just put colors instead of ethicity.....instead of native american or hispanic. or asian it would be..yellow...light brown
instead of african or african american they would put black...dark brown

I know that... Im not dum -

Maybe you just got the wrong impression... What I said was being the term "white" is the same as being term "caucasian"... If you read carefully...

In this case I wasn't talking about the terms... I was talking about the colours... Some of us are white by color... And some are dark by color...

[Mosul]

diri you are light in color becuase you are from Irani kurdistan, the origin of the zargos mountians. Even the keshmiers who live on the mountains are light in color, but they are not white, and neither are you. We are middle eastern, and a mix of many different peoples, and we are far from white.

Mosul - what are you so obsessed about? I can have my whiteness and you keep your darkness...

By the way - we are "Mediterranean"... Per definition... Others that are Mediterranean are:

Greek, Spanish, Italian, Portugees... Also some areas of the Balkans...

Well, I mean, the primary Kurdish ancestors are Halaf, Hurrian and the Medes. The Medes being indo-european and the others being races that migrated from the caucases of Europe.

But I really don't think it is important what you call yourself as long as you call yourself KURDISH.

[Diri]

I second that my brother

BE KURDISH! THAT IS ALL WE ASK...


And yes - Heval please go to the forum for Kurdistan and the thread abour Kurdish origins - we have done some interesting finds - scroll donw to the place you find that story - about the Hurrians etc
