Yes but have you considered that Arabs aren't white?

Depends on which arbitrary definition of "white" you are using. I see a lot of white supremacists pretending that Israel can't be white supremacist because either Jewish people "aren't white" and/or Arab people suddenly "are white" - whatever their pretzel-logic demands in the moment, I guess.

"White" is more of an arbitrary label for "guys like us". Italians and Irish were not considered white not so long ago.
