It seems that some Chaldeans have taken the "Assyrian approach" and said "We are the direct descendants of the ancient Chaldeans, which is obviously untrue. Others just say "We are Chaldeans" and leave it at that -- whatever that means. It could mean that we are like the Native Americans in the US, but the Iraqi version ("we've been there all along"). It could mean that we are Christian Iraqis, who also speak a language other than Arabic. Our community hasn't been as vociferous as the Assyrians in highlighting our differences, it's more of a "put your head down and get to work" type of culture, very entrepreneurial. I guess that's the best way to summarize the difference in ethnic pride between our peoples. Otherwise, I'd say we're pretty much identical in every way.

In other words, for important things, you definitely have to prove such claims.....for swapping stories around the water cooler you can claim anything you want.
