The most idiotic people on this planet - the Anglo-Americans - use this term to describe 'Arabs'.
India is not in the middle-east and Hindi culture is way different from Semitic (Arab/Hebrew) cultures. Yet
stupid white boy will tell you that all Hindis are Arabs, and that Arabs wear turbans, and Arab women wear dot on their forehead. Only some Hindu women wear the dot, Arabs
don't do that. Also, Arab men wear Kafiyahs, not turbans.
Retarded white boy "Hey look at that
Arab dot head Apu Simpson running Kwik-E-Mart"
Intelligent Hindi guy "Apu Simpson is Hindi, not Arab, you
retarded white boy!"
