They are mixed with arab dna IDK what arabs are it doesn't matter
They are like slavs, having light tone skin doesn't make you white that's fantasy
People want to call themselves white because whiteness is associated with intelligence, science, technological development, yet all of that happened exclusively within the range of england, france, germany, the netherlands, america (anglo america), and to a lesser extent scotland and italy
That's why the only people that are white are english, french, germans, dutch, the aforementioned in america, and to a lesser extent italians and scottish
That's literally as simple as it is, any other meaning of white than that is meaningless drivel regurgitated by aryanists larpers
