That guy looks Irish. I really don't see how he could be Yemeni.

Even compared to Saudis, Yemeni people look pretty distinct and darker/more-black admixed. Let alone compared to Irish people.

Some of those images look to be a bit altered for effect but I can tell you that ME guys will chew that shite all day long. It's a real thing for sure.


Somali men never stop chewing it. Sunup to sundown, there’s a chunk in their trap.

Best Shawn Ryan segment IMO

Khat plays a role starting at like 10 minutes

Sounds like we need to import a couple hundred thousand of them to make us more diverse.

Should probably increase our taxes as well to make sure we can support them when they get over here.

Isn't a khat high like a regular dose of ADHD medicine? I guess for a society that doesn't have access to better drugs, legal or illegal, that may be fun. Doesn't seem all that great to me, but uppers were never my thing.

Is this any different than half of America having a drink as soon as they get home?

The first video at least showed people who look like Yemenis. That guy in the second video doesn't look Yemeni at all.

He has albinism

Albinism is very common in cultures that encourage 1st cousin marriages. In the middle east, especially amongst Arab cultures, those type of marriages are very common.

I read the book Black Hawk Down and they talked about khat.



Also mentioned in Captain Phillips. It's native to Africa I think.
