Why is a concentration in Arabic taught at American universities

I can't think of other reasons to learn Arabic except (1) you want to become a Muslim and bomb some stuff, or (2) you want to become a counterterrorism agent to try to find out in advance when Muslims are planning on bombing places.

When I look up other language concentrations, I see stuff like "The concentration in Chinese prepares students for research and professional work in government and private enterprise, teaching careers at the secondary school level, and graduate study in Chinese" and "The major in Korean prepares students to perform professional work in the field of translation, international relations, local and federal government, transnational enterprise, cultural industry and teaching careers in Korea or at local public schools and to pursue graduate studies in Korean or Korean studies" and "With more than 400 million people speaking Spanish worldwide - nearly 40 million in the US - and the growing influence of Hispanic cultures around the globe, knowledge of Spanish and the Spanish-speaking world has never been more important."

The don't even bother to say anything like that about Arabic. If you're studying Arabic, it's probably for one of those two purposes I mentioned above. https://catalog.gmu.edu/colleges-schools/humanities-social-sciences/modern-classical-languages/foreign-languages-ba/#requirementstext

It's a general problem with education that you do not actually learn things you need, it's mostly a proof you are able to learn things and that you are willing to work hard for uncertain/dubious reward, this is valued by companies that want productive wage-cucks.

You learn things you dont really wanna learn for jobs you dont want.

You may aswell take a degree in something you find interesting such as history, just studying to be a productive worker is pathetic.

I mean, if you're trying to bang high-quality white chicks who are in their prime, it can help being white. But blacks tend to be more forward and practiced in their game, which gives them an advantage. Arab dudes like Roosh were apparently also able, when they were younger, to bang some white hipster girls; I wonder what those chicks looked like; I suppose some of them were probably decent-looking. Either way, he was able to do that by entertaining them or whatever, and just making an effort. A lot of white dudes won't even make the effort because they think it's wrong or whatever to approach girls and try to get with them; they're afraid of bothering them, since of course it's not like us whites are entitled to make attempts to get our sexual urges satisfied. We can't claim that it's just part of our culture to be forward, the way that nonwhites can. If a nonwhite hits on a girl, she can be like, "Ah, isn't it so cute how in these primitive cultures, men are dominant and patriarchal and uninhibited?" and then she spreads her legs for him. If it were a white dude, she'd be like, "He's violating the norms of our civilized society." That said, she'll probably sleep with white Chads too, and try to settle down with a white betabuxx although possibly settle for a black dude if she's dumb enough to think he'll stick around.

Those brown guys tend to have some sort of suave charm though. It’s not just a matter of not doing the effort, it’s realising that you’re a creepy nerd to them if you even try.
