I read a message on BethSuryoyo (or was it Aina? They are all the same) about how Fred Aprim is going to "protest" the fact that Assyrians were counted under the "Arab American" category. Chaldeans were also counted under this category, but I'm sure that he is going to use his "protest" letter to kill two birds (three, actually) with one stone.
The first objective is for him to "teach" them (after all, he is a historian) about how Assyrians are not A-rabs. His second objective would be to prove to the magazine that Chaldeans do not exist, never did, and that the word "Chaldean" actually is just a misnomer of "Chilean", yes, from Chile in South America. The third bird killed with this venom stone that Fred is throwing at everybody is
OUR community as a whole, that is, the Assyro-Chaldean-Suryoyo-Yoyo-Aramean-BigEndian-LittleEndian community that Fred constantly tries to divide and sub-divide, as if we needed any more division. In his foolish attempt to play "historian" and "saviour" of the
Assyrian people, he is just wasting his time, and ours, while hurting the
overall cause.
