Castro Posted February 14, 2006 ^ The last time I checked, they were. But on government forms here, they're listed as white (caucasian). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Naden Posted February 14, 2006 Arabs consider themselves Caucasian. Nineteenth century scientists/anthropologists engaged in a racist frenzy to make a chart of people, going from the superior (whites) to the inferior (blacks). They were all too happy to put Arabs and other mediterranean folks in the Caucasian category. Once read an opinion shared by a North African (Algerian or Egyptian) on the BBC site that he never referred to himself as an African because it had 'negative connotations'. :rolleyes: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
