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.

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. :)
