Middle Easterns would technically be considered white (especially those from the Levant area or certain Iranian regions). Mostly in The Mediterranean sense with skin tone varying to being very light to tan.
And Muslims are not a race! They are followers of a religion!
White in its strict term means of European descent. However Middle-Easterners and Europeans belong to the greater Caucasid/Caucasoid racial group. The Near-Easterners seem to have more of the Mediterranean component, as well as the Sub-Saharan component in their genome in comparison to Europeans.
For Example:
The Danish group (Northern Europe) DANISH
The Lebanese group (Levant)
LEBANESE
Lighter pigmentation is more prevalent in Europe as well.
e.g.: Blue eyes are much more common in Europe than in the Levant/North Africa.
Percentages:
Western Europe
Belgium - 28.9%
France - 20.2%
Southern Europe
Spain - 11.75%
North Africa
Algeria - 2.6%
Morocco - 2.1%
Tunisia - 1.2%
We see for example Belgium being 24 times more blue-eyed than Tunisia! It is a big difference which will also be seen probably in genetical distances between both groups.
Comparing my hometown in Germany (pop about 49k) with it's American sister city in Massachusetts (pop about 40k). My hometown is hands-down more multi cultural. The American sister city has more racial diversity (much more black and hispanic people), but they all live the same culture, the American culture. Immigrants in the U.S. get assimilated very fast, they quickly quit their native culture. Not sure why they lost their roots so fast, maybe brainwashed by patriotism indoctrination?
Wrong, not always the case. There are millions of immigrants who don't even speak English, let alone assimilate. They still stick to their own respective culture.

Basically, you have to have blue eyes to be really white?
I do not buy that. A good number of Middle easter.s can pass as white, maybe not in the Germanic/Nordic sense, but in the Mediterranean sense like in Southern Europe!
Why is it so hard to change the wording European instead of white?
All I know is that last time I was in Munich, I felt like I was back in Istanbul...
So isn't that unfair to Germany? I mean they did it to themselves, but I would have liked to visit Munich when it was German. You know I kinda feel like if your non-white the whole world is yours then. I'm not a fan of mixing cultures. I like it when you go to Hong Kong and its full of Asians, Mexicans in Mexico. In a sense it's that cultures nation! But it's like all white nations won't have their culture eventually. They will be like what you said feel like your in Istanbul, or Somalia when really you were really in Germany or Italy! Munich will never be the old Munich again. Where I live sometimes I feel like I'm in little India/Mexico/Samoa even tho I am from this exact same neighboorhod. I just moved away for 8 years! I feel displaced! It's like I don't belong in my own home anymore. A lot of these immigrants don't speak English, or appear to have any intent in becoming "American". They usually keep to their own race. Say even if Spain was sending tons of Spainards to Morocco and displacing the Moroccans I wouldn't be okay with it. I don't think it is okay to displaces a country's own people/culture. I live in the Seattle area but I've traveled a few times (within America) and its like races usually keep to their own anyway so what's the point of all this "diversity"? I feel like when people are from all diffrent races, religions, and languages there isn't a community aspect. It feels very separated to me, so what's the good? I really hope you guys can see my point of view.

Take a look at a mirror and compare yourself with any Duwamish indian. It means that you are "diversity", a corrosive diversity as it comes. The Duwamish want you out.
