Just so you know, Middle Eastern folks from Lebanon and Egypt fall under the race of "White" in the US census. Source: https://www.latimes.com/projects/la-me-census-middle-east-no...

The US Census categories are incorrect.

10 bucks says you could meet some of these folks on the street and you'd think they were European.

There is definitely a spectrum between Mediterranean and Middle Eastern.

What race categories are correct? Race is arbitrarily defined so any categorization is going to have flaws.

At least Census is consistent.
