Lmaoooo

No absolutely not

Like they might be described as white only if the describer couldn't in any way identify the person as Arab. One piece of ethnic clothing or whatever and they will instantly be 0% white.

yeah, but also, i think arab-americans themselves mostly dont want to identify as white either.

Oh yeah totally, my comment was from experience lol. Sometime around my mid 20s I started consciously presenting myself in ways that get me assumed as white less often, but now the scenarios in which I am "white" have just become funnier and more absurd

It's not like Arabs wear any "ethnic clothing" unless you're a Muslim woman in hijab. Or at least I've never seen any of my Arab relatives with anything like that.
