Can someone explain this ?🤔

My American friend sent me this.
To be honest I find it kinda weird how in America you have to choose your race when it comes to almost everything Including Job applications. I mean that shouldn’t Matter in my opinion 😅It should be either citizen or non citizen.
But Anyways, what I find weirder is why are Arabs and middle eastern people are classified as “white” ? (genuinely asking)

Its self report. You can supposedly be whatever you want to be. there are people who are far whiter than i am who claim to be black. that whole race thing on applications is useless. you want to know someones race, draw some blood. LOL

@GuiltyPleasures agreed but my question is why are Arabs classified as Caucasian/white
That’s my only question
The reason

@Moon3624 they might fit under the category of Other. Or, there could be a separate category for middle eastern people. im just throwing out possibilities.
