No. It can be but only if you mean it in an offensive way. Arab is what an Arab person is. Just please say Arab and not A-rab. A-rab is offensive to some people.

Well , Arab is just a word that points to a group of people . It is like the words Spanish , African , American , British , Australian. It has nothing to do with offensive. Some people may use it sometimes thinking it diminishes a person , or thinking it is a synonym of terrorist . Well it is not.
