Another reason why social constructions of race/ethnicity are ridiculous. I've also heard that but I know a LOT of Arabs who would not fit into our understanding of "white". And I don't consider Arab a "racial/ethnic" catergory. I use it to refer to people who are from countries where that is the dominate language/culture.
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.
