Are Arab Americans people of color?

They are Caucasian like ALL Middle Eastern North Africans since 1909.​

I’m sorry but I only consider Black people as PoC.

I think "Arab" refers to language and covers a broad number of ethnicities...some look straight up white, and some don't...depends on where they come from and what ethnic group they belong to...

short answer...yes

 

[Cyrus' Wife]

No they are not people of color.

And the word Caucasian comes from the Caucasus Mountains which are in the Middle East.

The Census as set by the OBM groups them as MENA and puts them under white(though this wasn't always the case).
Now how they see themselves is another issue....



EDIT:

well said. Also whites have kept their power by relabeling what is white and absorbed those they considered non anglos as white (Jews, Irish, italians, polish and etc.....these folks were considered muts in anglos eyes in the 1800s. Now they are considered white).

Whites circle the wagons and consolidate power. Then folks wonder why they been ruling the world for 500 years.

I didn't even get to that part yet ....as I keep saying these people keep using these very politically/historically shallow reasons to proclaim "fukk biracials" I've been in deep study for over a decade. When I hear these people, historical/political example after example pops to mind that I know they don't know about when constructing their statement ...but I can't be mad because I also know that unless you take it upon your self to learn these things the system won't teach you

My current favorite is mestizos classifying themselves as white....

It's only black and everything else
That's good or bad depending how u look at life

 

[NinoBrown]

Definitely not...they pass for white and are very anti-Black...

 

[Lord_nikon]

I will Tell anybody, go to fbi most wanted, and you will see most of these people are labeled white

 

[Fanservice]

Lmao not after 9/11 they don’t

 

[goatmane]

It seems like Arabs from the Levant and North Africa look white more often than those from the peninsula like Saudi Arabia. Of the Arabs I know, the Lebanese ones look more white.

They are Caucasian like ALL Middle Eastern North Africans since 1909.​

by that definition, that would include Indians, Afghans, Pakistanis and most central asian ethnic groups who are also considered "caucasoid"...but I don't think that socially it applies to them anymore than applies to Arabs

Is she treated like a white girl or a brown girl. That should answer the question.
