Two things.

I'm not sure where you got that info from, but Arab is language. It is not race. Arabs have been different races. Being Arabic doesn't cancel out one's race. That also explains why people from Iran are not Arab even though they look like their neighbors.

Referring to someone as an Arab has more to do with geography than vocabulary.  African isn't a race either, but we all know what it means, right? 

I have a good friend with a wife who was born in South Africa.  She has blond hair, green eyes, and a milky white complexion.  She's an American now.  She calls herself an African-American.  She truly is one.  Ain't it funny?

Charlize Theron was also born in Johannesburg, S.A.  I guess she is an African-American, also.  :-)

I see your point. With that said, I don't see how Obama can be Arabic as in being like those of that culture. He lets his wife wear these beautiful dresses and shows her face. He lets his kids show their face. Whether you agree that he's a true Christian or not, that is the religion he's practicing  (not Islam). He likes Beyonce, not Arabic music. I don't see anything Arabic about him.
Happy Upcoming July 4th. Our country is still one of the best in the world.

Newsflash:
Arabic does not equal Islamic.

Yeah, they all look alike, I suppose.   :whatever:

I realize Arabic does not equal Islamic. I just couldn't help but think the concept that he's largely Arabic might have something to do with his father's Muslim background. If it wasn't, I apologize.
