Are Saudi Arabians seen as white in Brazil?

[Richard Alvarez]

I know that most Levantines (Syrians, Lebanese...) are seen as white in Brazil based on their skin color, but what about people from Arabia? Imho they are pretty dark and I've seen many who basically have the same skin color as many mixed-race pardo Brazilians.

Here we considers Levantines as whites generally, but not Peninsulars Arabs usualy, generally we call they as "Arabs" as a racial classification, we dont use in the same group of "whites"
But the things here are based on colour, if a arab with very semitic looking but with a fair skin and blue eyes for some reason he will be white, but if a very dark european which still have europeans features he why be called "moreno" prob, idk why but its how thats work for mostly ppl
i alr saw mainy light skinned triracials be called white and alr saw many tanned euro looking ppl be called moreno

I think you can feel free to write in Spanish. But as you wrote in English, I will reply in English. The fact is that the Levantines are groups with a different phenotype from the peoples of the Arabian Peninsula. They are largely Mediterranean dinaricized by some alpine mixture. Many are quite tan because of natural adaptation to very hot weather and also because of the Afghan and Armenoid iran element which is characteristically quite tan in pigmentation. But like, if you go to the Palestine region and mix a group of European Ashkenazi Jews with Druzes, Samaritans, Lebanese and Syrians (especially the more western Syrians), you'll be surprised to notice that maybe you get confused trying to discern who's who ? I know some descendants of Lebanese who are whiter than most of the Iberian substratum of Portuguese and Andalusian immigrants who still live here in Rio de Janeiro. A lady daughter of Lebanese parents, I came to think that she was of German descent due to her strange last name and appearance.

The Saudis are different. They are purely Mediterranean in phenotype and come from one of the most genetically pure and dark substrates in pigmentation. Some passed as Iberians or even as southern or central Italians, Greeks and why not Balkans? But many have traits clearly absorbed by sub-Saharan admixture. Although in a country like Brazil, where even lighter-skinned mulattos like the former player Ronaldo, declare themselves as "white", for what reason, could many Saudis not be seen in this way?

Yes, they're, at least for the majority of population who is clearly ignorant.

Você nunca muda, sempre com esses comentários delirantes e menosprezáveis.

Um kebab Sírio-Libanês, ainda que tenha traços que lembram nórdicos, jamais será mais branco que um português ou andaluz, pois nem de longe é europeu quando se trata de genética, contudo você não está preparado para isso.

Eu diria até que um castizo ou um terceroon é "mais branco" que um libanês, pelo menos o terceroon é 2/3 europeu.

Negroid genes are better for sports than Caucasoid genes. and player usually come from poor class and they are negroid on average.
This is why these perception get created why French team have so many black but rarely middle Eastern who is population is bigger than negroid there. Simply because negroid genes are better for sports
