I just consider white to mean a particular phenotype. I don't think of a "white race".The reason Arabs are classified as White by the US gov. is because White is a synonym for Caucasoid in Science, and Arab are Caucasoid.
It's a bit more complex than saying Arabs are Caucasoid because an Arab is someone whos mother tongue is Arabic, so Arab is a linguistic/cultural grouping, much like Latino or Hispanic. But since the bulk of Arabs are Caucasoid, the label sticks.
If Shia LeBouf and Jerry Seinfield (both of whos ancestors recently came from the MidEast) are classified as White then Arabs are classified as White too.
Arabs as White enters some funny territory when the daughter of Anwar Saddat is classified as White despite looking Black.
You call them White, I call them Semites. Thought they may be Caucasoid, they come from a different lineage than the Aryans or Scot-Irish or whatever.
"White" is too broad of a term and is essentially meaningless if we classify this guy as "white". I don't need a DNA analysis so see the differences. Same thing with hispanics. The differences are obvious in the phenotypes. A child could point it out.
The only reason they call Arabs "whites" is to make their terrorism and crime statistics politically correct so they can pin more shit on "the white man".
