Are Iraqui people just another type of white, or are they their own race?

They are classified Caucasian by the scientific community so that would make them another type of white person.  There are a lot more than just the 3 races though and as people have become more intelligent we all realize there are many different types and colors of people in this world than use to be recognized by the scientific community.  With the mixing of so many different types of people there are  races we didn't even think about 20 years ago.  So, I guess your question really doesn't even matter in the grand scheme of things.

My race is Caucasian.  My ethnicity is Scottish/Irish/Italian/Mohawk and Iriquois.  (a real Heinz 57!)\n\nAnyway you slice it, I am American (not Irish American, African American etc...) - that bugs the snot out of me!

Yes. all nationalities, cultures and creeds produce incredible minds and Iraq is no exception. For the first time in a while these minds are getting closer to a point where they can be developed without encumbrance and make their contributions to the world.

Persians are definitely white; i'm not so sure about mexicans but i guess they are too.

Good question, I noticed you said "some" white folks, thanks for specifing that. Not all us white people are a$$holes. I am sorry one of my "white" counterparts has done this to you or someone you know. It may stem from the INDIVIDUALS insecureness. However, I have been outcasted because I am white, and I haven't done anything wrong to anyone. Hell, I am married to someone of a different race, so why do black,brown,yellow,orange,red,green and or purple people instantley label all white people as racist slave owning hillbilly trailer trash? Same reason whites do it to other races, all races are racist, try this out, live in a homogenious (one race) country like I do, and then you will know what true racism is.

NOT THAT I KNOW! Because i have not really meet people of diferent races. Altougth i dont think nothing would change this answer, because i dont believe the race makes the people personality.

I know a lot of people who are not white who are racist and will admit it.\nI just think that so many people automatically assume its white people because of history

Oustanding question! You probably wont see many liberal viewpoints here. In response, YES. People seem to want to settle with their own racial background. There is very little real diversity and this is what most people have problems with. It is these (remember that guy having a go at John Reid) 'Muslim areas' where tension between in the indiginous population and within themselves will develop. Lets just cast our minds back to july 7th 2005.  Apparently those guys were 'british'. Im sure the 52 people on those trains and buses would question that. That is merely a prelude to what could be a regular occurence. And yes it will become like baghdad. with different 'muslims' fighting amongst themselves. Meanwhile all the anglo saxons will be recreating histroy and fleeing to Australia and the USA. This is a bad time and it needs to be addressed aggresively if needs be. \n\nYou want to play on our pitch? \nYou play by our rules.

despite the similarity in name ( of course original spell of iraq is aragh ) and neighborhood , people of these two countries are from different race and have different language . so many thinks that iranians are arab thats wrong and they speak persian .

Ok, I won't call you white. But personally, I don't mind. Call me white, caucasion, European, Italo-German, cracker, whitey, albino. It doesn't matter to me, and people who get all tied up in that (especially people to whom skin color was an advantage in the past) are just silly.

I don't know... I think it depends on who you ask. Most people I know consider Italians to be white, but others do not. Sicilians, in particular, have a greater north African and Arabic influence than northern Italians.\n\nI'm Sicilian and Calabrese, and I'm pretty pale. However, my grandfather, who was 100% Sicilian, was as dark as my biracial son. I wouldn't have considered him to be "white." So I suppose it all depends. \n\nIncidentally, I think it's just smarter and simpler to define yourself by the country you were born and raised in and not by your color or ethnic background. That would make me an American of Italian descent.

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.

classifying human beings in races is stupid and not scientific. the three main groups of negro, caucasian and mongoloids were used by anthropologists anciently but have no longer any scientific value. some countries adopt them as a form of description of their citizens but its not correct to talk about "races". in fact a central european, looking "caucasian", might have a greater genetic affinity (similar DNA) with a black african that, say, with another central european of celtic origin. this even if the looks would suggest the opposite. \nanyways, following the classification u suggest, australian aborigenes, together with melanesians, would be classified as "negro", maoris as "mongoloid", and polynesians as "caucasian"...this shows how bad  and wrong the classification is.

the majority in Iraq , and iran are shite   but not in Turkey  as they are sonita  and strict ones(the religious)  u Can always know from the art they have,, as the Irani art and also the Iraqi in the past can have images of humans or animals(what God created)(allowed by shite)is in the turkish art (only geomatric forms)(that is what is allowed by strict sonita)  anyway the Kurds are sonite but they are not Arab (like the Iraqi) nor Turk (like the turkish)  so the problem is based on Race not religion...

No, he was dark skinned like the Iraqi's.  I mean he was around that kind of area at the time.

I asked this question recently myself. I have faith that they are out there, and we will see them someday. Some of the blood of these tribes probably got mixed with regular people. There is some evidence of this with Africans, particularly Ethiopia.
