It depends on the specific person. Most likely not but there are definitely white/white-passing Arabs. Same with Hispanic people
i was going to say that this smells like the foolish attempts at late-19th/early-20th century latin american civil rights organizations, like LULAC, who expended all their energy, money and influence to successfully get the american judicial system to assert that hispanic people were white; but ultimately THOROUGHLY failed to get american popular sentiment to make hispanic people white.
coming from a mexican, but majority white passing family split between the united states and mexico that always condescends to garden variety looking mexicans in both countries; it's easy to see that groups like LULAC were either blind, stupid, or willfully ignorant.
