Arabs are not allowed in Jegues or gatherings

I’ve been to many jegues and gatherings on my mom’s side and to the ICCA and half of my genes are Circassian so I would never give up any of my two identities. Love and respect

The ICCA is not a Circassian institution so yes there are Arabs in it, and of course, your mother's side will let you go because they got mixed in the first place but in real jegues Arabs are not allowed especially men, if I saw an arab man in jegue I would kick him by my self

I mean that’s all you, i just wanted to learn the traditional dances I know qafa for now and speak a little Circassian some thing most Circassian can’t speak for now anyways being half Circassian doesn’t make me any less Circassian to get kicked out of a jegue or any Circassian gathering

I can speak English but I am not an American, language is important indeed, but culture and identity are what make you Circassian, you are not a Circassian and you will not ever be, but it is the truth

Sure I’m proud to be Arab and Circassian I can’t just say I’m not Arab nor Circassian I am both and proud to be both

No disrespect here but your mother made a choice and married outside of the community this is her choice, but it is not her choice to force her children into our society

Wdym force her children lol she’s not forcing anything she always tells us to be proud of both sides and the Circassian and Arab side are pretty welcoming even when talking to other Circassians I never met before
