Why are middle eastern people called Camel Jockeys?
<|assistant|>
This derogatory term for Middle Easterners is believed to have originated during the 1800s when Western adventurers used camels as mounts while exploring the deserts of North Africa and the Middle East. Some Europeans referred to their local guides as "Camel Jockeys" due to their knowledge of these desert environments. Over time, the term was used more derisively to refer to the people of these regions themselves.
