White Arabs

[Maleficent]

I see Arab the same way I see Latino. Arab and Latino are both not a race or an ethnicity. There are White Arabs such as the Levantines. Brown Arabs such as Saudis, Yemenis, and other Gulf Arabs. There are also Black Arabs such as the Sudanese and other Afro-Arabs of the Middle East and North Africa. Just as there are Blacks, Whites, and Brown people from Latin America.

Arabs such as Egyptians and Palistinian Muslims who show up with some notable amounts of SSA influence.

Well, other than the Arabs with SSA admixture, they're White.

You're all right. Most of the Middle-Eastern whites aren't Arabs but Arabised Northern Semites eg Assyrians, Kurds, Syriacs, Jews etc. Southern Semites Aren't "white" but northern ones are (Lebanese, Palestinians, Syrians, Some Iraqis, Some Jordanians)

When you say Arab are you just using the general term for middle-eastern people? Or specifically Arabs cuz...





there are Levantines(Arameans/Phoenecians), Assyrians, etc...

[Hoca]

You are white if you carry the white men's burden. Arabs do not. You can say white-looking Arabs but not white.

Technically, Arabs have an imperial reign over the rest of the semitic speakers except the Hebrews. Many for such a long time that they became know as Arabs.

Yes that's is true or Al-Bosnai or Al-Albani as well, they indicate Bosnian and Albanian ancestry. The surname Cherkes is quite common to. Let's not forget the Mamlukes many who came from Circassia and Ukraine at least the Kipchak part.

in America pretty much all 'arabs' are considered white, unless they're really dark Iranians or something and say they're "black" or something. this goes for licenses, census's afaik etc.

I don't know what you are talking about. The White Americans at my school call the Chaldeans "almost white"... They can definitely tell a difference.

There are white looking Alawites, but I doubt that the Alawites have Balkan ancestry. More likely the product of Crusaders marrying Saracen women.
