Persia has a much older and more enlightened tradition than Arabia, dating back to the ancient Kings at Persepolis, the writings of Rumi, the teachings of the Zoroastrians and so on. As a result, Iranians feel superior in most respects to Arabs. Unfortunately, the Twelver Shi'a elite in Iran (Khamanei, Ahmadenijab....) seem to be narrow minded theists of no higher calibre than the savage bedouin Wahabis.

Ok, I have no idea how Arab humans appear at Pakistanis, Sri Lankans, and Indian. But I can inform you approximately Arabs themselves. Arabs are very happy with themselves and they don't care how others appear, painting, and stereotype them. They recognize precisely wherein the detest toward them comes from they usually recognize the purpose for that. They are conscious of the 24/7 hate computer operating in opposition to them. For that, they don’t trouble approximately any haters barking hate in opposition to them. Many Arab towns now are cutting-edge areas wherein many humans from around the globe paintings and are living. Arab households spend such a lot cash on personal schooling wherein teaching their youngsters is a precedence and such a lot of Arabs are fitting tremendously proficient and that is fitting a quandary wherein there don't seem to be ample jobs for them. They import foreigners to paintings in offerings. Arab societies are most commonly conservatives wherein a household participants keep virtually each and every different lifelong they usually appreciate each and every different very a lot.

That's the same with us, Assyrians. Our native tongue is Assyrian, not Arabic but are still sometimes referred to as "Christian Arabs". The only reason why I think people would referred to as Arabs is because we live in the Middle East.
