Many look pretty white to me.
At what point is someone Brown just becuase they have dark hair and eyes. There are people in Europe with dark hair and eyes and they are still considered white. I don't understand. If they look white and self identify as white I don't understand why they can't be white.
Syrian President Assad looks white.

Mena category, which means the "Middle East and North Africa"
I am assuming you one of those in America, that don't know much geography beyond the United States or worst local area. LOL
No. I know what MENA is, I was alluding to the ethnic/racial category they will fall under.
Right now, everyone from MENA is categorised as white in the US. If they were to regroup under a unique ethnicity, what would it be? Would the Berbers in Algeria who don't like being called "Arabs" allow that? How about the different Black African tribes all over North Africa?
On Friday, the White House Office of Management and Budget advanced the proposal with a notice in the Federal Register, seeking comments on whether to add Middle Eastern and North African as a separate racial or ethnic category, which groups would be included, and what it should be called.
Under the proposal, the new Middle East and North African designation — or MENA, as it's called by population scholars — is broader in concept than Arab (an ethnicity) or Muslim (a religion). It would include anyone from a region of the world stretching from Morocco to Iran, and including Syrian and Coptic Christians, Israeli Jews and other religious minorities.

But the Census Bureau, which has been quietly studying the issue for two years, also has gotten caught up in debates about some groups — such as Turkish, Sudanese and Somali Americans — who aren't included in that category. Those are issues the White House is trying to resolve before adding the box on 2020 census forms.
Actually it is Mena, think of it like the "hispanic" category which encompass many different people of different ethnic, religious and racial background.
White House wants to add new racial category for Middle Eastern people
With some people or the American society, it may be problematic.
Arabs come in different shapes and colors. Some are white, some are brown and some are black.

Arabs in Lebanon, Syria, Palestine, and Jordan are all white though.
bytch sudanese people aint arabs take this massive neg and don't let me ever catch you claiming Nubian
The original inhabitants of Arabian peninsula used to be black. You'd be surprised that Qatar and Oman have a lot of indigenous black people and I believe some of royal families in those countries are black.
But Arabs are classified as white in the US. Even Egyptians are classified as white in the US.
I'm talking to a chick now who defines her self as African Arab, but not white
They seems real up bent about that shyt
False 90% of the country is black... yes you have coptics who are of Egyptian and Turkish origin who have taken the nationality but for the most part Sudanese people, are black the same way white south africans are not african they just reside there. And yes a lot of people are not 100% black the same way alot of African Americans are not 100% black because there was a lot of mixing with Arabs. So called"Arab" tribes Jaelien and Shaqiya are almost indistinguishable from your average East African to a casual observer.
I know all about this I'm Sudanese. Come see for yourself instead of just watching western news for information. The country was called the Land of the Blacks for a reason( by Imperialist cacs yea I know).
And the reason I came down so hard on the poster is OP has shown his picture you can clearly see his he's black and that idiot is calling him an Arab.
I swear to the Almighty that America has created issues in nearly every country and nearly in every category.Actually it is Mena, think of it like the "hispanic" category which encompass many different people of different ethnic, religious and racial background.
