Thai people call Middle Easterners "white kaek", and dark skinned South Asians as just "kaek". Do you think this categorization makes sense? Europeans on the other hand are called farang.

I think only white people see other races and ethnicities based on skin color, which oversimplifies people's ethnicities and heritages. My example of Thai people is about facial features. Skin color comes second. East Asians are one group because they tend to have small eyes and fair complexion. Malays and Indonesians and people in Brunei are another group. Indians, Pakistanis, Bangladeshis are in the same group. Middle Easterners and North Africans are another group. The world certainly is not just based on skin color.

Realistically the arab looking people are probably just mixed with black and white from 100s of years ago there literally in between africa and Europe

Back in the days, the whole of Arabia was black. If you're "olive-colored" then you've got neanderthal admixture in your gene.

The question should be irrelevant. “Black” and “white” are useless categories created by ignorant people. Different ethnicities such as Berber, Turk, Albanian, Kurd, Inuit and so on do exist however. Just ask them

Except the fact that Arabs are some of the most racist people on earth. The "polite" term for black people is abd which means slave. Or they'll call you zinji which is also a slave but has the context of the word nigger.

Yea, we hear that but nowadays Arab are more racist than any others, even they hiding their blackness

Is it your claim you don't have a race, and simply an ethnicity? I'd be fine with that, but I wouldn't want you to cut against normal identity for white Christians, which is so often the aim of people when they deny being Caucasian, which "white" is shorthand for. White Americans use white to have some group identity, which is much more cohesive than religion most of the time because white encapsulates a lot of cultural norms mainly stemming from the UK but also broadly from Western Europe.

@@pirizzo how do you define ethnicity to begin with?

@@herooja Ethnicity is a geographic designation for a group of self-identifying people based on shared religion or history for the last several hundred years. You classified yourself as Arab, which fits my definition. The only thing I don't like when it comes to discussions such as these is when people make the claim that they themselves are beyond classification to try to deconstruct another's identity.

@@pirizzo fine I guess, but I would rather use culture instead of religion, culture can include religious practices, but also language, non religious traditions and practices, food, music etc. In many Arab countries, like Jordan,Syria ,Palestine culture is shared by people of different religions, in the area of Jordan where I grew up, Muslims and Christians identified as Arab and non religious culture is almost the same among them. Even some Armenian Christians identified as Arab by culture but Armenian Orthodox by religion, as was the case with local Circassians(Adyghe) and Chechens, who adapted much of the original culture to the local Arab culture.

@@herooja The definition I provided made clear shared religion history within a certain region. It doesn't have to be just religion. Again, I certainly don't care if you have your own culture, defined by the way you'd like to define it. The only problem I have is when individuals like yourself, come into my country, which is the US, and claim that you're the same as me because we occupy the same place and therefore what I identify as doesn't exist. I'm a European American Christian, also known as a white American. We exist as a separate ethnicity regardless of whether it's blurry on the edges of the definition like it is with all ethnicities and cultures. The broad point is because you don't have a shared culture and history with me, you can't be part of my group, but my group still exists because there are tens of millions that identify with it, even if you are living among us. But I will reiterate that you can be whatever you identify with which exists in the region of the world you're from.

I'm French and racial statistics are illegal here. I'm 46 and never was asked to state my ethnicity or race (which is a debunked concept) until I filled an aplication to a UK university : I was quite shocked and had to google caucasian to learn that in some places in doesn't just mean people from the caucasus mountain range
