  1. Hmm I thought some middle easterners were mix of all three because it's in the middle of all three continents. Which is why some are dark to light.  


  2. Shakira and Salma Hayek are of Lebanese decent and they look very, very "white" to me.  

  3. Yes its true. And Caucasoid does not necessarily mean European. Europeans are simply members of the Caucasian race.

    When people of European extraction dislike/distrust a certain group, they tend to "de-whiten" them, if possible.

    As a result, Arabs are not considered white, even though, biologically, most of them are a Caucasoid people.

    It's interesting that Jews and Arabs have a common origin, but Jews are perceived as white.

    It's the same with Hispanics in the U.S.: many Hispanics have mixed backgrounds, but in parts of the world where people are not familiar with Hispanics, most tend to be viewed as whites; but don't tell a white American that.

    Another interesting fact: During the 1800's U.S., Italian immigrants were not considered white.

    This principle cannot be applied to Russians, no matter how much the West hates them; Russians are too fair
