You share Natufian ancestry with them which was heavily carried by proto-semitic speakers inhabiting southern levant/northern arabia a few millenias ago. This admixture exists in all semitic speaking groups however in different amounts. I am not saying that you are close to Arabs or Somalis, I am just saying that there is a little common ancestry between you and them. The same goes for me too. We all have that sandnigger DNA

Many other ethnic groups from outside the Middle East share different amounts of the so called Natufian DNA including most Europeans to a certain degree.
Does that mean all those who share are part Semitic?
I don't think so.
It is not about being a sandnigger or not being one.

A lot of Euro ethnic groups share Natufian ancestry with Arabs and Somalis but they don't speak a semitic language which is one of the reasons why they aren't lumped together with some Northern middle eastern ethnic groups. For example, an Assyrian will be connected to Arabs etc because they speak a semitic language, Geo Jews will be connected to Arabs/Southern Levant because of Judaism(although I don't deny the fact that both Assyrians and Geo Jews have some ancestry from Levant in general. In case of Geo Jews it's mostly from southern levant which was and is more exotic part of Levant). Also, in total the natufian ancestry in these middle eastern ethnicities is in a bigger amount than it is in european and other northern middle eastern ethnic groups and as I mentioned before cultural, linguistic and religious aspects also influence people's biases to connect these people with the made up "semitic" race

I am sure that you would like to have some of those "SeMitiCusz" dna. Wouldn't you?

He already has them. He has said before that he's 1/8 Arab and he might also have some more DNA from either Levant or some other place that's "semitic"

You need to separate language from DNA.

For example I speak only English at home, does that make me an Indo-European or a Germanic? The answer is no, just because I adopted a Germanic Indo-European language that I use daily, but I still do not carry Germanic or Indo-European DNA.

Tomorrow, myself or my descendants might adopt an East Asian language like Chinese or Japanese, would I or my descendants then be considered East Asians?

The reason Assyrian and Arabic languages are connected is because Arabs borrowed heavily from Assyrian after their conquest of Mesopotamia in the 7th century A.D not because they share DNA or they have the same origin.

Then why is the Semitic gene label based on Yemeni's and other Arabs, Ethiopian and Somali speakers rather than Assyrians and Mizrahi Jews who are the most ancient and original Semitic speakers?
Unless you are implying that we share the same genes which the data show exactly the opposite.

You actually share ancestry in common with other semitic groups like the natufian component.

He has some, but probably would like to have even more so he can become a more proper Sandnigger like you and I. :D

Isn't the Assyrian language actually a mixture of Sumerian and Levantine? I know so. I know that all Semitic languages originated in the Levant.

I haven't heard of that theory but Arabs spoke a semitic language well before their conquest of Mesopotamia in the 7th century A.D

And I'll repeat this again. Arabs and Assyrians share that common ancestry which hails from people that spoke a proto-semitic language. I never said that Assyrians have tons of ancestry from these people but they have it in a certain amount.
