The word “Arab”
does not strictly imply or designate any known racial category of people.
It
is an ethnic identification that has several aspects including linguistics,
politics and genealogy. Its meaning is nuanced depending on the context.
As
an ethnic identity, an Arab is someone who considers himself to be an Arab
regardless of racial or ethnic origin. This definition
encompasses many Africans, Indians, Indonesians and Chinese who describe
themselves as Arabs.
