Are Gulf Arabs Fully Caucasoid?

[Leto]

First of all, Yemenis are not Gulf Arabs.

Second, all pure Arabs are Caucasoids but there have been foreign elements imported into the Gulf over the centuries as well.

If he means the Arabians in general, then yes, the Yemenis are Gulf Arabs.

Virtually all Muslim Arabs have SSA admixture, and that's why they pull away from Europeans on a PCA:

Estimated SSA admixture:

K14_temp - Google Sheets
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...htmlview#gid=0

Syrians 1.9%
Palestinians 2.7%
Jordanians 6.5%
Egyptians 9%
Moroccan 14.9%
Algerians 15.7%

Eurogenes K8 103 Selected Population Averages - Google Drive
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...XwUsAA/pubhtml

Lebanese Muslim 4.02%
Syrians 5.78%
Saudi 7.07%
Palestinians 8.55%
Egyptians 17.71%
Moroccan 20.44%

I don't think Syrians are 5% and Palestinians are 8% African on average. Sure some areas might be more mixed but not the countries as a whole.

No. Look at a map. Yemen does not border the Persian Gulf.

I'm aware of that there are supposed to be Lebanese Muslims who have no or negligible SSA admixture. Syrians, I do not know, but I guess they don't differ much from the Lebanese. When it comes to Palestinians, the 'old families' might lack SSA admix. I'm no expert, but some say that many modern-day Palestinians descend from Arabs who settled there from other parts of the Arab world and in Gaza they are heavily Egyptian etc.
