There are two reasons for this. Firstly between 4 and 8 percent of French citizens are of partial or complete Maghrebi Origin (they have an ancestor from Morocco, Algeria, or Tunisia). Secondly, French from the south of France, such as the Niçois or the Marseillais have a Mediterranean appearance (similar to North Italians and Catalans) and dissimilar to Germans and Parisians). This Mediterranean appearance has many of the swarthier tones associated with Middle Easterners.

How would the history of the English colonies have been changed in the 18th and 19th centuries if the French had been allowed to remain in Canada?

The French Elite left but the French people stayed so we know exactly how that timeline would look like. If the Elite stayed and France kept control we could look to the other French colonies, like Haiti to see what that timeline would resemble. Everything would have been very different but just as an example they would not have allowed Loyalist to flee the American revolution to Canada. And since the French have always had considerable loyalty to the USA, Canada would have come under American control much sooner. Not that there would be a Canada. The French would have never been able to resist the American Manifest Destiny,

Are cypriots considered Asians?

You could say that Cypriots are Asians or Europeans. You could say Europeans as Cyprus is part of the EU but I would go for Asians or Middle Eastern as Geographically Cyprus is in the Middle East next to Turkey Syria and Lebanon. Also both Greek and Turkish Cypriot culture share many similarities with Arab/Middle Eastern culture such as the dancing, food, music and even the people look the same. And as a Greek Cypriot myslef I would prefer to be called Middle Eastern rather than European. :)
