Arabian can be considered an ethnic, cultural, and regional grouping. The distinctions they make within that grouping can be based on religion, skin color, and so forth. To use racial subcategories is really unnecessary. But, if people insist on using "black" and "white" categories, a large percentage of people in Arabic countries would fit into AmeriKKKa's "white" category.
