    Who mentioned the Middle East?

    If you’re going to white knight a country, at least be able to find it on a map.

        Afghanistan also shares a border with China. Do you consider that a ‘colony borders made by racist white people in history’?

        Sure, like assuming Islam is a region isn’t racist. At least the people that want to bomb (the fictional city of) Agrabah don’t pretend to care about Muslims.

        FWIW Iranians don’t even love being lumped in with the Arabs. Afghanistan is culturally Persian, and closer to the central Asian steppe homelands and south Asia than to the Middle East.
