All of what BB says is wrong as usual.
If you look at the archeology and the study of genetic drift, there are no “races”, just a mix of clusters of shifting gene pools blending and merging through invasion, colonization, slavery, and nomadism. The borders of these counties have constantly shifted over the centuries and are largely arbitrary.

The Iranians, from the same root as Aryans, incidentally, is an obsolete grouping that covers the people from India (the term comes from the Hindu Vedas) to the middle East.

I suspect he’s just dog whistling from a position of Christian exceptionalism, filtered through a US isolationist perspective and a poor education.

BB was under the impression Afghanistan turned Muslim because of the Taliban, and that the Taliban "invaded" Afghanistan. It's not such a weird impression to have if all you know about the situation is the fragments of the official US narrative that you picked up by listening to ignorant nationalists. What happened then is that it was pointed out that this is not at all the case, which sent BB googling for something to confirm their silly viewpoint. The Pashtun thing was just BB inventing some ridiculous story to justify the ridiculous story already in BB's mind. The Nuristanis=only true Afghans was yet another ridiculous story invented for the same purpose. That's really the extent of it, it's no deeper than that. I'm just here for the next ridiculous story to justify all the previous ones.

Some idiot said Taliban were the native Afghanis.

I looked it up. They're not. They are an invading culture imposing moral laws on a struggling country. I country with actually a history of invasion.

So, who are these "native Afghans" you say we have to work with.  Please name them.    Common.

You somehow think this is native to Afghani way of life, you're greatly deceived. This isn't indigenous culture, it's a foreign empire trying to take over. The distance from Kabul, Afghanistan to Mecca is 2700 miles. Under no natural circumstances would Afghanistan share the religious or political ideas of Saudi Arabia. This is imported religion and imported culture.

Yes it's imported.   By the Arab Conquests of the 7th century!  Not by the Pashtuns in the 19th century.  Before the Arabs it was mainly Buddhist and Hindu - good luck finding any of them to run the country.

Maybe I'll suggest to the Taliban that they only work with "native americans" instead of the European ones as "this isn't indigenous culture, it's a foreign empire trying to take over".   The distance from Washington, USA to London is 3,700 miles.  This is imported religion and imported culture.
