Arab is caucasoid component anyway. Berbers were never european and I doubt claims they were ever too light on average. Even though there is that old egyptian mural with different peoples and lybian berber individual is lightest and I don't know what other proof of this there might be. They are mainly west asian descended and have lived for thousands of years in a warm mediteranean climate and some in the sahara too.
