so then which one are you taking? my only suggestion is when your taking it to work as fast as you can. if you get stuck, either skip it and go back later or guess. that's my worst prob - time
speaking of those standardized tests, what do you put when it says RACE, the choices are white,black,hispanic,asian/pacfic islander,and other, i am always stuck putting asain, they need a middle east category.
usually when they say white, it says white-british, white-american,white-european. i always put other, and if there's a space to fill in, i but KURDISH in block letters ;just to be extra
Sure - if they specify which type of "white"... But if the option "CAUCASIAN" is there - then that is what you opt for... The Hurrians - which are our forfathers were from the Northern Kurdish areas - North of Wan and Urmiye and thay spread all over Kurdistan from there... They are Caucasian - they WERE
diri we are not cauasian, our language is indo-eruopean, but that does not mean we are, kurds range from medium to dark brown, there are few exceptions, but as they are for everyone, There needs to be a Middle eastern choice.
Actually - probably only the Kurds in Mosul range from medium to dark brown... I am white thank you very much and I intend to keep being white... I am not PINK like Norwegians and some other Europeans - I am white...
And the race you come from is a result of many thousands of years... Kurd are a part of the Caucasus peoples and they have been mixed with Arians the most and the Mongol and Semetic peoples less... So we are per definition Dark Caucasian (Only we are white- but they wanna be the white ones and not the "pink" ones so we are "dark" caucasian)
But this matter is a boring one... Opt for the one you like --- Perhaps you should opt for African/black next time
you are not white diri, im sorry. I know you are looked on differently in Europe and you have no choice but to say your white. But you are not. you are kurdish, a middle eastern nomadic peoples. your skin may be light, due to the climate in irani kurdistan, but you are far from white my friend. be proud of yourself
i really dont accept you to respond to all my posts, how do you get the time to even notice. you must live on this site
i dont consider myslef white even though i have fair skin and light eyes........im still kurdish and kurds are from the middle east....
i would never ever consider my self white not that its a racial thing but bc we are so different from them
