[QUOTE]Originally posted by rasol: [QB] [QUOTE]Arab World: The term itself encompasses a population who simply share the same language[/QUOTE]Lol. What nonsense. The term Arab World is a politically charged, imperialistic *claim*, by Arabs over the lands and peoples they conquered. This ideology is known formally as Arabisation. Arab identity and language, in much of the Arab world, is contrived upon and enforced by violence. It is not simply a post-facto reference to 'places where people happen to speak Arabic'. [tell another one. :rolleyes: ] [QUOTE]Terms like east asia in no way give the impression of a land of yellow people[/QUOTE]This is specious analogy. A specious analogy occurs when two things are compared which appear to be superficially similar to make a point, in this case, about how they are treated differently. When in fact the two things are very much unlike one another to begin with, rendering false the expectation that they should be regarded in the same manner. 'Yellow' people does not exist anywhere as and ethnonym, whereas Black is the most frquent color ethnonym used to describe peoples...in many languages, and in many cultures quite independant from one another. Meanwhile color in general carries no *distinction* as a politically constructed identity. Identity is just as political whether you use color as and identity construct or not. As for "East Asian", most Asians don't discribe themselves as "East" Asians, but rather just as "Asians". Meanwhile peoples of SouthWest Asia, dont' describe themselves as Asians *at all*, but rather Arabs, Indians, Muslim, Iranians, and Jews. So how is East Asia fundamentally "better" as and identity construct than Black African? Far *West Asians*, would based on geography actually equate to white Europeans who seldom ever refer to themselves as *west* asians. So I can't imagine having *less* of a point than you appear to. Can you explain *your point* again? [/QB][/QUOTE]
