I got into a discussion with my grandmother about the manhattan truck of peace. I asked if the driver was white, and she said yes, which surprised me. At least until she clarified that arabs are white.
I thought long and hard on this, but couldnt come up with a proper response. Are arabs white, Sup Forums?
Does your grandmother actually understand that this guy was a filthy uzbek from central asia? Not an arab.

->The conquest of Central Asia by Islamic Arabs, which was completed in the eighth century A.D., brought to the region a new religion and culture that continue to be dominant. ->The Arabs first invaded Mawarannahr in the middle of the seventh century through sporadic raids during their conquest of Persia. ->Available sources on the Arab conquest suggest that the Soghdians and other Iranian peoples of Central Asia were unable to defend their land against the Arabs because of internal divisions and the lack of strong indigenous leadership. ->The Arabs, on the other hand, were led by a brilliant general, Qutaybah ibn Muslim, and they also were highly motivated by the desire to spread their new faith (the official beginning of which was in A.D. 622). ->Because of these factors, the population of Mawarannahr was easily conquered countrystudies.us/uzbekistan/2.htm
