Ohhh sorry I didn't see that lol 😅
Qatar and KSA
Your observation is true...
My experience...hmmmm those days living in those countries it was not that easy... but it was OK...I came out alive lol
Praise God my experience was OK 👍 Nowadays it's different because many Arabs know how to speak English already and many of them send their kids abroad to study 😊 Those days you need to learn their language to be able to communicate 🙃

Many come to NZ to learn english and come out with a nz accent which apparently is better than an american one, but nzers who act for american tv shows have to learn how to speak with an aamerican accents as americans apparently cannot understand anybody who doesnt speak with an american accent.
Unnerstan what ahm sayin' y'all?

Whoa... Flashback time. Somebody in chat commented about how you kept on and on trying to get opinions on this topic, and speculated how far you could go before you could be called racist.
Here's the chat quote.
-----------------------
Which begs the question, how long can you harp on a question about race before it makes you racist?
I mean I'm fine either way with someone of middle eastern (or any other) ancestry saying they want their own race category or don't because it will lead to people making assumptions about them that they don't think are fair or true.
I don't understand a campaign to make everyone have an opinion when most of us have the opinion of we don't really care.

This makes me wish I was geeky enough to create a sound filter so I could play the anamaniacs countries song and have it just say the countries I've been too. But the count is up to 20 something on every continent except antarctica and south america (honduras is the farthest south I've been in the western hemisphere) and I was in New Zealand but not Australia proper.
My longest total time would be Vietnam, New Zeland, Mexico, and Scotland in that order I believe. After that I'd measure my time in country by weeks not months or years. Most of that traveling was with Youth with a Mission.

Yes a few. But what difference does that make? We've already established that they don't think in the same racial categories as Americans and your concern has to do with the racial distinctions made on the American census. And it's pretty clear you don't take the american census as authoritive since you're asking for other opinions.

)Your intended topic was an alleged controversy concerning the color of Jesus' skin during his incarnation.
Again, WHO CARES?!?
Many years ago, I was introduced to a "black" brother out here in Pennsylvania.
He gave me a tract that he liked to distribute.
On the front of the tract, it said:
"So, you believe that Jesus was black...?"
On the inside of the tract, it said:
"Now, what about your sin?"
On the back of the tract, it laid out the plan of salvation through faith in Christ's atoning work on our behalves.
The color of Jesus' skin is only controversial to RACISTS.
It is of no real importance at all to anybody else, nor should it be.
