I've always found they're culture to be fairly rich and interesting and Arabs to be generally affable when dealing with them on an equal/normal basis (I'm fairly certain that migrant laborers in the Gulf and Jews would say otherwise!).

indeed! the title should've been how do the REST of the asians view them?

but i guess with them being in the middle east, and not as easily identifiable with asia in the same way with russia, they're not easily thought of as asians. plus they look much closer to being european, same thing with the russians.

Correction:

NOT all Arab are Asian.

Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco and Mauritania are Arab countries in northern Africa.

Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine & Israel, Iraq, Saudi kingdom, Oman, UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain and Yemen these are called " Middle East" and affiliated to Asia continent.

All these countries are Arab except Israel.

Another misconception that Iran and turkey are Arab but they are not Arab!

and to tell you 'ASIAn' is geographical wonder why they are part of ASIAN GAMES. The word Asian came from the word ASIA
countries and living in the continent of Asia.

Qatar as 2007 ASIAN Games Host country


Lea Salonga

One of the best host country for Asian Games 'Qatar 2007'

As far as I know lol Arab is an ethnic because they have similar culture and they used 'Arabic' as their mother tongue but being Asian is not an equivalent of being an ethnic because it's geographic. Israel is located in the continent of Asia too unless you create another continent and they will not be included as Asians lol.

They were called Middle Eastern or Middle East same as those people in Carribean Islands but Carribean countries are mostly located in the continent of America specifically located in North America.

Only Siberia is Asian in Russia. The other 25% of the country is European, just as Thrace is the only part of Turkey that is in Europe, and portions of Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan lie in Europe. Also, Middle Easterners look different than Europeans, featurewise. While they are technically Asian, I'd classify them as a separate race, because they've been mixed between Asian, African and White blood over the centuries.
