I made this post because I've been feeling bleh about using "Middle East". Feels like a term made up by Usania, also feels like otherizing Anatolians-Arabians-Iranians, despite being from the Continent of Asia.

Idk why I feel this, but yeah. I also wanted to know how y'all refer to it (also want to know how I should refer to it, since I'm at a crossroads myself)
