      Oh that’s so not true. Vast majority of Arabs, especially in Syria, Iraq, Iran, and that region in general identify themselves as Caucasians/white

        Anyone who’s been to the region can attest to this. While I was in iraq and kuwait most people I saw would be considered “white”. The only exceptions are people who work outside under the sun because tans exist.

        Here is a picture of Shayma Qasim an iraqi beauty queen. I’m dutch/irish/italian and I’m darker than her and considered white.
