You really dislike them. They are good looking or may be I have mistaken Arab girls for Kurdish but they spoke Kurdish. In fact one Iraqi Arab girl that I met doesn't even come close to Kurdish girls.
Iraqi Kurdistan is not going anywhere. Syrian, Iranian and Turkish Kurds I don't know. If all these four join forces they may win a political battle, but then again they can never stay together as a single one country.
Come on now.
I have nothing against Iraqi or Syrian Kurds. Almost all of them have heavy Arab admixture (ever since they appeared in what is today tiny Northeastern Syria and tiny Northern Iraq) and are by large heavily Arabized. My problem is purely historical and political. Historical in the sense of certain Iraqi Kurds rewriting well-known history and claiming ancient Arab/Semitic lands to be originally Kurdish when that could not be further from the truth. Poltiially because the KRG is a corrupt oligarchy ruled by two families (Barzani and Talabani clans) that often undermine Baghdad. Most people are struggling as well to make matters worse.
As for Kurds as a whole, they have historically always been close to Arabs. The descendants of Saladin (Al-Ayyubi) family live in KSA (mainly), Jordan and Egypt for example. There are locals of Kurdish descent in those 3 countries as well.
Who says that they should be going anywhere? Not me. I am just stating demographic facts. KRG has been flooded by Iraqi Arabs, mainly Iraqi Sunni Arabs post-ISIS chaos, and with the high fertility rates among Iraqi Arabs (Shia as well as Sunni) more Iraqi Arabs will move to KRG and further alter the demographics. Hence ending the KRG (as a purely Kurdish region) once and for all.
BTW, most Kurds online and the ones that I have met in person have been pro-KSA. If Kurds have any problems with Arabs, it is mostly limited to Iraqi and Syrian Arabs for historical reasons and due to ongoing politics.
I am serious. One of the many beauties of the Arabic language is its depth, among which is its many dialects, and the more softer Arabic dialects are 100 times more beautiful than Farsi and they never sound as gay or as weak which is a huge bonus.
