Depends on who you're talking to, some consider it as part due to cultural similarities. The ambiguity of what is 'the middle east' is part of the racism towards the area according to some of the middle east history classes I've had

yeah and it's pretty culturally distinct, they just want to lump muslim countries together. it's as "middle eastern" as pakistan, turkmenistan, or uzbekistan. it's like saying austria is a balkan country

most yanks seem to think afghans and iranians are arab, too

indonesia, mauritania and bosnia are middle eastern countries

Austria is Balkan though. It's part of greater Albania
