every middle eastern person i have ever met (excluding myself and loved ones) are the nicest people but all this fighting is so goddamn stupid bc if you take any of us out of the countries and put us in a room we really just fuck heavy with each other 😭 i’m friends with a whole group of middle easterners where i live, all of us from different ethnic backgrounds, and given the current political climate there you’d think we’d all have beef but we go out for drinks and dance together
exactly. like my group has people that the west is hellbent on making it seem like we shouldn’t get along or hate each other but we all just have the same mindset where if you’re respected, you return the respect. if someone is nice to us, we’re nice to them. that’s just who we are and we all refuse to talk about politics purely because we hate what is happening and just want peace
