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.
The word for person is "personne". However, French usually refer to people as "les gens". Example: Look at all those people! "Regarde tous ces gens!"
Persian like, its hard to explain go to Google images and type in Indian art

Yes. Look at a map and you will see it almost in the middle of the continent.
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,
The Romani (Gypsies) are a people from originally where Afghanistan is today. They migrated to Europe but never properly assimilated into their host nations. Hungarian Romani are no different.As a result they do appear rather Middle Eastern.
There are many countries in the Middle East! Afghanistan Saudia Arabia Palestine Syria Iraq Iran and much more!
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. :)
One can find authentic belly dancers at various clubs and restaurants outside of the Middle East. One should look for these types of establishments that advertise belly dancing and are operated by Middle Eastern people.
