"Also, many, especially here, neither are Arab nor identify as such."

Came here to say the same -- I grew up in the US, but my family is Kabyle and you definitely don't want to call my father Arab!

Yeah exactly, my family identifies as Kabyle and the majority of them still live in Béjaïa.

(Also, hey! First time I’ve run into another Kabyle on HN)
