Are Syrians Caucasian

Answer 1

Syrians are a mixture of Arameans and Assyrians mixed with a number of other nationalities, including Greeks and Turks. It may be that their racial identity is mixed because of centuries of conquering and assimilation by other peoples. Arabian influences increased during the 7th Century. The term "Syrians" began to be used in the 1800's after the Napoleonic Wars. In a religious sense, many are muslims and Christians.

Answer 2

Most Syrians today have Mediterranean coloration. This coloration varies, but includes colors that might be mis-identified with a Southern German at their lightest and may be mis-indentified with Pakistani at their darkest. Nationalities with similar complexions include most other Arabs, Southern Italians, Southern Spaniards, Turks, Egyptians and other North Africans. Most of these groups are characterized as "White" by the United States Census Bureau, regardless of how others may see them. In Europe, most people consider Non-Europeans to be "Non-White".
