Am I the only one who has a hard time distinguishing a Middle Easterner from a Hispanic? Sometimes, I even have a hard time telling an Indian (from India) or people from its neighboring countries from Hispanics.

Just to be clear, when I said Hispanics, I am referring to a huge percentage of Puerto Ricans, Columbians, Mexicans, etc. who are living in America. Basically, the "mixed" ones and not the almost pure Native American ones or the almost pure white ones.

Why do you have to know what people 'are'???

Preconceived notions can backfire and do nothing to enrich your life.

Anyway, point being, only the first one is actually Arab, and he looks similar to Spanish actor Mario Casas. Second one is Cuban (who is on CSI: Miami), you can't mistake him for being Arab. Third is obviously a mestizo.

This is directed to the OP, some people in Latin America look Arab because, just maybe, Arabs have emigrated to the region in significant numbers? But, hey
