Do you North African nationals consider yourself Arab or Africans?

We're both, Arab and African but I think that we consider ourselves more Arab because we have more in common with the Arabic than with African... we speak Arabic

I think I understand what your trying to ask.....you're wondering if the African people distinguish themselves like "I'm Nigerian, I'm Egyptian, I'm from Mali, I'm South African"......etc. I believe they do. I've got two African friends who are Somalians. That's what they call themselves.\n\nNow to the African Americans here in the US. We consider ourselves blacks or African-Americans, because some of our ancestors were African....many can't say "I'm Kenyan" because we don't know where our first African ancestor came from. (By the way "black" means from the darkest to the lightest of us.) I'm black, native indian and caucasian and probably a lot of other ethnicities. But I call myself Indian, because that's what I am predominantly.....I guess your next question will be....is there a difference between Indians? Of course. (smile)

Yes. Indians, for the most part, along with other West and South Asian groups such as Iranians (Persians), Pakistanis, Iraqis, Turks, etc., are definitely Caucasoid peoples. Most North Africans are also considered Caucasian.\nWhile race is largely a social construct, it does have a firm foundation in physical anthropology. It should be noted that skin color really has nothing much, if anything at all, to do with race. Unfortunately, far too many people take the term "white" much too literally and this narrow thinking no doubt contributes to the very erroneous notion  that only Anglo-Saxons or Scandnavians are white. (I've even seen a few postings here on YA from people who actually seem to believe that even Italians, Greeks, Spaniards or Portuguese aren't white! That, of course, is wrong.) There are several subdivisions within the "white" or Caucasoid  race. In addition, many, if not most, Hispanics ("Latinos") are actually Caucasian. Also, Gypsies (originally from the area around India and Persia) are Caucasian as well. \n(An interesting sidenote: Back in the 1930's, Ethiopians were considered, in some anthropological circles, to be Caucasoid because they lacked the profound Negroid features found in most sub-Saharan black Africans.) \nSo, in short, Indians, Arabs and Middle Eastern people are Caucasoid Asians, as opposed to Mongoloid Asians such as the Chinese,  Koreans, Japanese, Vietnamese, Filipinos, etc.   \nAmerindians are also a Mongoloid people who crossed the Bering land bridge from Asia to the Americas some 30,000 years ago.

Italians are generally accepting of Arab Africans.  Think about history, Arabs essentially built Sicily and have a long history in Italy. Arabs find it fairly easily to adapt into Southern Italian life.  Also, unless the arab makes it obvious through clothing, it is often hard to distinguish between and light skinned Arab and a dark skinned Italian.  Many towns in Italy have ancient mosques and share a cuisine similiar to Tunisia.\n\nBlack Africans are a different story.  Very different.

cute question, shows good off the wall thinking, keep asking more, some people will think your just being a smart ass but I like the question.  \nP.S.\nIs someone from Egypt that now lives in America and African-American after all Egypt is wholly a part of Africa yet many are more Caucasian in appearance?

Blacks do not call themselves Afro-Americans. That's what white people started putting on apps. I don't consider myself an Afro-American nor do I consider myself and African- American. I was not born or raised in Africa nor have I ever been. My mother or father has never been nor have their parents or the ones before them. That's just another way to let others know  they are referring to a dark skinned person.

No, many arabs enjoy citizenship, with full voting, working, etc. rights, just like israeli citizens. Palestine is a seperate territory, with seperate laws, etc. The problem is that Palestinians demand  working rights, etc. that they don't legally have. Imagine if Mexicans DEMANDED the same rights that you have. Uh oh, they kinda are, aren't they?

Two Africans were kidnapped and brought to America as slaves, a man and a woman. The woman gets pregnant by the man. Would her baby not still be be African? Black people are African in race. We are American if we are born in America. The same goes for white people. You are not American just because you are white. You just happened to be born here. You may be Dutch, British, German or whatever. The only people of American ancestory is the Native American. What I want to know is why white people worry so much about what black people call themselves.
