I recently had the pleasure of working with a female software engineer who is Chaldean. Holy. Hot. Damn. Long black hair, ample bosoms, hazel eyes, olive/brown skin. It was hard concentrating on the work, that is for sure.

Modern day central Iraq. |

The ethnic groups for which ancient kingdoms may have been named, are often minority groups today in that same region. |

Iraq has Kurds, Sunnis, Shia and countless other such groups. They are all still "Iraqi". Just as a Washoe or a Paiute or a Navajo while being Indian are still "American". So Chaldeans are Iraqi. |

Not all Chaldeans are Iraqi. The point is that the modern nations were arbitrarily divided and don't reflect the ethnic groups in them. Turkish Kurds are not Iraqis. Thus all the problems that those regions have. |

Some are, some aren't. Some are even American. Chaldean does not equal Iraqi. "Iraqi" is not an ethnic label any more than "American" is, but that does not mean all Chaldeans are Iraqi, and it definitely does not mean the two terms or synonymous. |
