[QUOTE]Originally posted by Sundjata: [QB] Thanx for correcting that alTakuri.. I see many objecting to the term as applied but I can appreciate more and more that these are more a case of cultural relativism than of our own biases. [QUOTE]Originally posted by markellion: For one thing it suggests that the physical appearance of Arabs somehow struck him as having some kind of connection with Ethiopians The thing is don't most writers describe people in the Maghrib and Arabs as the same color. like Ibn Battuta describe most Berbers/Tuaregs and and Arabs as white (dark skinned). Are Berbers ever described as being generally darker than Arabs White supposedly means a blackish complexion with a light-brown undertone.[/QUOTE]Ok, see, my point is that I agree in part with your conclusion but not your reasoning (which is crucial).. You completely ignore the erroneous information contained therein your cited quotation. Yes, there are implications which swing one way to justify your point, but there are implications that also null your point, like the claim that Ethiopians are "racially" distinct from other Africans. We have to be sharper than this my friend. :) [/QB][/QUOTE]
