Black Iraqis?


Ive never been to the country, but is there that large of a black population in Iraq? Im guessing that casting decision was was due to the African filming locations.

I have only been to southern Iraq, but no, I hardly saw any black people. However, I don't think the people in Generation Kill could be called "black" either. There were many who were a bit too dark skinned to be Iraqi, but not actually black.

In McNab's "Bravo Two Zero" he mentions one of the soldiers at the prison was a black Iraqi.

There are Black Iraqis, though they're not as prevalent as the series makes it seem: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afro-Iraqi.

I personally don't recall seeing many, if any, black Iraqi's when I was in country.
