Pioneer1 Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 Most of Christian Iraqis are a tribe of people called "Chaldeans".They've been coming to the Detroit area for about 35 years or longer and there are about a half million of them here. They were coming here anyway before all of this conflict started.They tend to have a lot of money and are quite united.They own a lot of the liquor stores and cheap resturants in the area.Things are calming down now because the younger people tend to be more Americanized and lean more towards the local Black culture but when they first came here there was a LOT of conflict between them and the Black community because when they first came here they started shooting and killing Black customers in their stores left and right. A lot of it came from Black men hitting on their women. They didn't like that. But they used to (and still do) hit on Black women and girls.A couple things people need to realize about the Middle East is:1. Not all the people of the Middle East are Arabs. There are a lot of other tribes/ethnicities who existed their before the Arabs moved in their lands. Chaldeans are one, but Persians and even most of the Palestinians are NOT Arabs.2. Not all of the people of the Middle East are Muslims. There are a lot of smaller religious communities there that don't get much press.There are a group of Kurdish Iraqis called "Yazidis" who have a VERY interesting religion I've been researching lately...lol.
