"kurdish" tag empty

In the tag list it says 142 uploads but when you click on it or search for images tagged with "kurdish" there are 0 results.

I remember Berfin Sarikaya was tagged with it. Only instance I saw it on.

Is this still an issue? I see 48 right now (as a mod and also checked with my non-mod test account).

BTW there are a number of scenarios where a tag can become empty, such as when a model becomes blacklisted, but here I am not seeing any such deletions.

No it seems to be correct now I see 48 as well. I suppose it's like gooberpea5 said because Berfin Sarikaya was tagged with it. She had 142 uploads at the time so that would check out.

Out of curiosity, I just checked. The kurdish tag again is empty.

Is that incorrect? Should someone be tagged with it who isn't?

Tbf, I think a lot of it is a slippery slope. The entire concept of identity, esp. ethnicity vs nationality isn’t a “one size fits all” thing & often varies by country.

Let’s take Iran for example. Most people are ethnically Persians/Farsis, but there’s also Baloch, Azeri, Arab, Armenian, Qashqai etc. peoples within the country. But on a national sense, that’s Iranian. So how do you describe someone born to Iranian parents in a different country? e.g. Sepideh Moafi (Iranian blood, born in Germany, lived most of life in US). It’s all tricky to classify

My guess is that people either…

• change tags b/c they have misconceptions/errors (E.g. Sabah Syed’s posts often include “Arab” when most Pakistanis aren’t)

• maliciously/for some nationalistic motive (What I think is going on here, b/c Turkish-Kurdish relations are… strained… to say in the least. Many Turkish internet users are honestly hyper-patriotic online from what I’ve seen, so I think this is why)

Kinda unrelated, but I do find it odd how some people get tagged “mixed race/multiracial” but people will go back and remove the specific tags? Isn’t that counterintuitive?

My comment was strictly curiosity.
