No. An hispanic is someone born in a spanish-speaking country or a descendent of someone from one of these countries. A mexican born in America is hispanic regardless of their ability to speak spanish. I never said Arab denoted a race so get that shit out of your mouth when talking to me.
Similarly my roommate is a hispanic BUT HE SPEAKS FLUENT ARABIC. That DOES NOT make him an ARAB.

My mexican roommate is NOT a member of an Arabic-speaking people and thus is not an "Arab." I swear you guys can't read. "MEMBER OF AN ARABIC-SPEAKING PEOPLE" does NOT mean "SOMEONE WHO SPEAKS ARABIC." BIG difference.
Get it right.

No the whole "afrikhun" thing is not about hating anything. It is about calling a spade a spade.

Whoah. Stone age? Arabs were civilized and educated by the people of KMT. For a long time Egypt was the center of Arabic science and scholarship (outside of memorizing a silly fairytale book). This is no coincidence. The schools of Egypt were had long since been established during the before and more were created during Greek occupancy.
