Why are Middle Easterners and North Africans classified as white? Because they are part White mutt breed, mongrels. Occasionally there are still racially White people in those regions, like some of the upper class Persians in Iran, or pure ethnic Berbers who aren't mixed with Arab/Negro DNA, but they are of course the rare exception and not the general rule. Apparantly the U.S. census and job application forms think that any person with any amount of Caucasian DNA is therefore a White person, rather than only a purely Caucasian person. If they called the ragheads what they really are (mutts/mongrels), it would be considered offensive. They don't like the truth, it offends them.
