Note
the middle east falls in both asia and africa, it’s also a historically inconsistent term
yeah but its in africa. im in a long standing feud with the new york times crossword over it.
#like i get that geographically it falls in both
#and ultimately geographic terms are arbitrary and based in mostly eurocentric ideas of the world and mostly dont have an official def
#but historically and culturally the middle east is much closer to northern africa then central or south asia
#which is why i like MENA as a term
#it tracks much closer to the reality of the relationships between these regions
#using the examples of the arab league
#i just find the term west asia to be meaningless and worst....unhelpful
#except in sports i guess which fine whatever
#idk i know its a silly hill to die on but here i am
#i am arab btw
#which is why i am fired up about it
