Sunni and Shia are not ethnic identities and the regions labeled “Sunni” and “Shia” are religiously quite mixed.

In response to everyone who is thinking the US should’ve divided it up this way 20 years ago … it’s not that simple, but also a more or less yes.

Yazidis are Kurds too (they even preserve a „purer“ Kurdish compared to the average Muslim Kurd). Yazidis also don’t constitute the majority except in the mount Şengal and the Şêxan area. Most of that purple is Turkmen/Arab with some Assyrians.
Kurdish language area extends a bit further south as a thinning strip throughout the Iraqi-Iranian border.
Assyrians don’t constitute a majority in that large of an area. They also hold the majority in some places further to the north near the Turkish border and that wasn’t represented in the map.

So, before the Sunni-Shia schism, before Islamic religion appeared, how were those ethnic groups any different?

Should be labelled “Sunni Arabs” and “Shia Arabs” most turkmens and Kurds are Sunni.
