In most application, "Middle Eastern" are not included.

Answer 2

I wouldn't think so. You can check off the "Other" category in applications.

Answer 3

When you think of middle east  on Iran yes they are caucasian, but I think the  arabian  countries in middle east are not considered Caucasian.The Caucasian race, sometimes called the Caucasoid race,[1][2] is defined by the Compact Oxford English Dictionary of Current English as "relating to a broad division of humankind covering peoples from Europe, Western Asia, parts of the Indian Subcontinent and parts of North Africa" or "white-skinned; of European origin for more information look :http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caucasian_r...

Answer 4

They're not Caucasians. Truth be told, they're people of color. I say that to say this:The Middle East is on the northernmost tip of the continent of Africa. So, if you really want to get down to the bottom of it, they're really black, just that they have fairer skin. So, when people of that region are filling out applications, they can choose other.

Answer 5

This is prob not an educational answer but if it's just on looks alone then I dont think they are Caucasian.  They look like Indian people but maybe not so dark.
