Are Gulf arabs really arabs?

[Abdi-Karim Elmi]

Why do gulf Arabs look so different than other Near eastern arab population. We all know that much of N. Africa and Egypt is still native to the region but Syrians and Jordanians look more Lighter skinned and Semitic than SA, Oman, UAE, Kuwait etc. They look more south Asian mixed with Nioletic Saharan like Nubian. I believe gulf Arabs originally looked like Jordan rather than today...

for one reason i think , many people have to migrate to the land of the Gulf and especially in the past 25 years, and the majority of them have got the nationalities of those countries like (Saudi Arabia - United Arab Emirates - Kuwait ... etc), it is the demographics in the Gulf countries, especially small countries which became its indigenous population of Arabs consider where minority that many communities of East Asia has migration and live here . .
and of course now the migration has become much more than last . .

i know many people in my country they originally from Indians, Pakistanis and Bangladeshis, but now merged with the society , and i have a good friend now from Pakistan but he is Saudi citizenship now . .

Egyptians, Syrians, Libyans, Algerians, Morrocans are not ethnicly Arabs, they are lignuisticly Arabs but in Arab world the important part is linguistics so it doesn't matter they are ethnicly Arabs or not in Arab world.

P.S: People of Greater Syria are semitic but they are not Arab.

Gulf Arabs are the true and real Arabs. The rest converted to Arabism - so to speak.

Retarded thread. With very unsubtle racism.
The Arabian peninsula was for the most part of history the most isolated region in all of Asia. since it is mainly desert, so very little immigration from outside, but a lot of its inhabitants immigrated to neighbouring countries. In Syria and lebanon because of their location they have many different ethnicities mixed with the local Arab population, like Armenian, kurds, Albanian and others. Therefore, its very stupid to assume Gulf Arabs looked any different from today. The lighter white skin is alien to Semitic peoples, you could see that even in Jews who lived in the Middle east and compare it to Jews who immigrated from Russia and Europe.

Those are not Qataris. These nationalities only work there.

Not true. The majority don't get citizenships. Also, Asian workers only started to work here in the last 30 years, so this has nothing to do with the OP.
