White arabs aren't considered white here because White is an exclusive group that you have to slowly be allowed in unlike black that's pretty much a fucking free for all.
So I wouldn't use American's opinions since it's rooted in social dynamics and not "racial background".
It is really interesting how a person that looks just like Giovanni or the Greek guy next door will turn non-white cause actually he is Ahmad and he speaks Arabic. But I guess it is kinda comparable to Hispanics. When I realized J. Lo and Fat Joe in the US aren't white I had to understand everything is arbitrary.
That's because being "white" atleast in America never had anything to do with "race" half the people considered white today here are only considered that because it somehow benefited the hierarchy. Like the Irish weren't white and suffered and even revolted with blacks. They became white when they were coerced into denouncing blacks and doing little things that added to white supremacy.
They remained low on the totem pole of whiteness but hey atleast they had more rights than blacks.
