How many Schrödinger races are there currently? Are Jews white? Are Persians or Arabs? The entirety of white Europe can trace their ancestors to two main progenitors the Anatolian farmers and the Eurasian Steppes hunters. The former is your standard Mediterranean and Iberian white while the latter is the northern whites, there’s of course heavy admixture in the Central European regions.
For the average layman, anyone who looks White and has some European ancestry is White. People who research the history of ethnic groups might have more nuanced takes, but the prior is how most of society makes their judgments on that issue.
So Jews and Arabs are White to you.
Not to me, but the average layman does consider Jews White. I've almost never heard anyone call Arabs White however.
According to the US CENSUS and all crime data, Arabs are white.
