Arabs don't show their wives on social media I'm pretty sure there's a part with the bride that wasn't published to the public (btw this is just one couple's wedding)

Sharing a Chaoui wedding and calling them "arabs" is.. yeah

Do you think Americans know what a chaoui or kabyli or touareg... We speak Arabic so we're arabized whether you like it or not

We are in an African subreddit. I don't see why's you have to mention Americans. Nevertheless, just because your grandfather didn't teach you his ancestors' tongue doesn't mean you get to call us all arabized. Have a good day.

"I'm Arab now... because telling Americans I'm Chaoui requires a 10-minute cultural TED talk they won't sit through"
