Most Kurds are Sunnis, so this question makes little sense as put.
When the "Media" refers to the conflict between "Sunnis and Kurds" they are using the word "Sunni" as shorthand for saying "Sunni Arabs" in order to distinguish them from "Shiite Arabs". There are linguistic, cultural, and ethnic differences between Arabs and Kurds.

How does the government treat the kurds?
Different governments treat Kurds differently. In some countries, like Turkey and Syria, Kurds have faced discrimination and repression, including restrictions on their culture, language, and political rights. In other countries, such as Iraq, Kurds have gained more autonomy and political representation.
Why weren't Kurds liked?
In Turkey: The Kurds were the largest group of Turkish citizens who were not ethnic Turks. As a direct result of fearing that the Kurds would attempt to form their own country, the Turks repressed their cultural expression in an attempt to de-Kurd-ify them and Turk-ify them. The fear of Kurdish revolt is not terribly surprising given the Kurdish revolts in Iraq in 1925 and in Iran in 1928. The Turkish government under Erdogan has been the first to recognize that while Turkish Kurds are Turkish citizens, that they can have a Kurdish culture and still be loyal Turkish citizensIn Iraq: In the late 1920s, the Kurds had already attempted to secure an independent state and gained the ire of the Nationalist Iraqis. The Kurds were stuck between the two sides of a doublethink ideology. The contradiction was this: Iraq should be all territories within the former British Mandate of Iraq, but the only Iraqis are those of an Arab racial character. Since the Kurds were not Arabs, they were not considered "real Iraqis", but were forced to be a part of the Arab State. Much of the conflict was between Kurds trying to secede and Iraqis forcing them to stay in a union where they were second-class.
Are Kurds Semites?
Well, the Kurdish nation is originally of Semitic Descent, the Kurds lived in ancient Mesopotamia which is modern Iraq. As the Babylonian Empire began to grow they pushed the semitic Kurds to the caucasus to the south of Russia. Their blood mixed with the Nords and Aryans even their Language Changed to an Indo-Eoropean language which is now modern day Kurdish. Now, the Kurds are a mix of predominantly Semitic blood and some Aryan. It is always misunderstood that the Kurds are Aryan.
Do Kurds lives in northern Iraq and are mostly farmers?
Yes, Kurds live in northern Iraq, primarily in the Kurdish autonomous region. While some Kurds are involved in farming activities, many also work in other sectors such as trade, services, and government. The Kurdish region is known for its agricultural production of crops like wheat, barley, and fruits.
Do all kurds speak Arabic?
No, not all Arabs speak Arabic, however. If these Arabs live in an Arab country they will speak Arabic. Many Arab Americans do not speak Arabic. Being Arab is an ethnicity, who all descend from Arabia or the Levant. There are also different cultures like Sudanese people who are considered Arab, because they are apart of the Arab League of Countries, whose national language is Arabic. To clear up to you the facts, the only real Arab people are people who descend from Ismail(Ishmael), the son of Ibrahim(Abraham) and Hajjar.
Are the kurds in northern Iraq predominantly sunni or shia?
Yes, but there are minorities of Shiite Muslim Kurds, Yazidi Kurds, and Baha'i Kurds.
What are some differences between Shiite and Sunni Muslims?
Some key differences between Shiite and Sunni Muslims include their beliefs on the rightful leaders of Islam (Imam Ali for Shiites and the Caliphs for Sunnis), their practices and rituals, and their interpretations of Islamic law. Additionally, there are theological differences in their views on the role of clergy and the concept of religious authority.
What are some ethnic differences between people in Iran and Iraq?
Iraq is primarily Arab with some minorities like Kurds and Yazidi in the north. Iran is a multi-ethnic country made up primarily of Persians, but also Dari, Pashto, and Balochs in the East and Kurds, Azeri, Circassians, and Arabs in the West. Persians consider themselves to be Caucasians, not Arabs.
What is the differences between the Arabs Persians and kurds?
Kurds, Arabs, and Persians are ethnic groups that are primarily focused in the Middle East. Kurds are overwhelmingly Sunni Muslims, but there are minorities of Shiite Kurds (especially in Iran), Alevi Kurds, Yezidi Kurds, Yarsan Kurds, and other religious minorities. There are some Jewish Kurds who predominantly live in Israel. Arabs are predominantly Sunni Muslims, but there are large minorities of Shiite Muslim Arabs, especially in Iraq, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, and Kuwait.

Do the Sunnis and Shiites hate each other?
Some Sunnis hate some Shiites and some Shiites hate some Sunnis, but the majority of the conflicts between them are not theological, but political, social, and economic. These labels work similarly to ethnic labels in the Balkans, ripping people and countries apart. It does not help that many Sunnis and Shiites purposely or unintentionally misconstrue the doctrines of the other in order to give Divine Legitimacy to what would otherwise be a vulgar brawl for resources.
What is the Main difference between Sunnis and Shiites What is the effect today?
There are no critical differences between Sunnis and Shiites. The outsiders are trying to feed up assumed differences and conflicts between Muslim groups to gain control on Muslim countries and on their resources. The two main groups are Sunnis and Shiites. Both groups agree upon basic Islam pillars, believe in same and only version of Quran, believe and follow the sunnah of same prophet (PBUH), pray to same direction (facing Kaba in Makkah or Mecca in Saudi Arabia, go to same places on pilgrimage (or Hajj), and adhere to same Islam morals and ritual worships. They only differed on some side issues that are not critical. So, from where the conflict could be? Refer to question below.

How long have the Sunnis and Shiites been fighting against each other?
Sunni and Shiite are different sects of Islam, but Kurds are an ethnic group. Kurds are predominantly Sunni Muslims (although there are minorities of Shiite Kurds, especially in Iran, and non-Muslim Kurds as well). As a result, it is incorrect to call the Kurds a "religious faction" since what sets them apart in Iraq, Iran, Syria, and Turkey is their ethnicity, not their religion. The Sunnis and Shiites have been religious rivals since the mid-600s C.E. since the First Islamic Civil War or Fitna al-Kubra. Historically, in Iraq, the Sunnis had control after the Shiites lost the First Islamic Civil War and the Shiites were repressed almost consistently for 1300 years. Kurds were largely absent from this since Kurdistan was separately administrated from the Arab-populated areas, assuming that it was even in the same empire. In terms of the three-way political fighting between Sunni Arabs, Shiite Arabs, and Kurds, this only started when the borders of Iraq were artificially drawn in 1919 to give the British access to petroleum reserves in Basra (in the Shiite-Arab-dominated south) and Mosul (in the Kurd-dominated north). Initially, there were some Kurdish independence movements in the 1920s in Turkey, Iraq, and Iran, but all were brutally supressed by the national governments of those countries. As Iraq began to have a more Pro-Arab and Secularist agenda and alignment before and after World War II, the Kurds suffered more and the Shiite Arab situation did not improve from historical intemperance. During the 1970s and 1980s, the Iraqi government committed numerous atrocities against the Kurds (especially), but also against Shiite Arabs, and other religious minorities, including the Anfal Campaign (which is considered a genocide against the Kurds) as well as the Dujail Massacre against Shiite Arabs (which was the primary charge for which Saddam Hussein was hanged in 2006). This violence led to the Kurdish and Shiite Arab uprisings in late 1991, following Iraq's defeat in the Persian Gulf War of 1991. Again, the government brutally supressed these uprisings. With the US invasion and the Iraq War, the governing structure of Iraq was put into flux and the different groups (Sunni Arabs, Shiite Arabs and Kurds) are now vying for political power. As concerns the current interaction between Sunni Kurds, Sunni Arabs, and Shiite Arabs in Iraq, their fundamental differences are religiosity (how religious they are), tribalism, factionalism, militarism, and historic enmities. The conflict between these groups in modern Iraq is for the most part political, economic, and social (as opposed to religious) even though religious dialogue is often used to excite combatants.
Is the current president of Syria good?
To some Syrians who are Shiites, Christians, and some Druzes, yes (because these three benefited from Assad's secular dictatorship). However, to the Sunnis and Kurds, no. He is no different from his father, having the same paranoia that Sunni Islamist extremists might take power in Syria contributes to his brutality on anyone who opposes him.
If a Sunni girl want to marry a Shia boy but parents of girl not agree and they say they are not called a Muslim?
