Really? That's very interesting. I wonder why Arabs are classified as whites here in the US. Maybe because most of them are Lebanese and they are the 'whitest' Arabs.
That's because Arabs are white. Unless they are mixed with other races such as blacks in Egypt and Orientals in places like Iran. Chaim and David once said they are mixed with Mongols in Iran.
White means Caucasian. It doesn't refer to light skinned as opposed to dark skin. You can't make up races just because someone is dark. If they are non-white, they have to be either black, Oriental, or Australoid. I'm talking about native people, not people of mixed race. Since the question is about Arabs, Arabs are native to Arabia. Whites are the natives of Europe, Western Asia, and North Africa. Also, Arabs are Semites like Jews so European Jews are more similar to Arabs ethnically than to Europeans unless there was mixing in Europe. Basically, Arabs and other people of Western Asia and North Africa are white in the same way Southern Europeans are.
