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:
