Answer 2

Mediterranean Coloration
Lebanese people 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 Arabs, Southern Italians, Southern Spaniards, Turks, and other North Africans.

US Census Bureau: White
Most of these groups are characterized as "White" by the United States Census Bureau, regardless of how others may see them. This is primarily because the United States Census Bureau is not truly interested in noting differences between races and cultures other than White/Black/Hispanic. It is for this same reason that Indians, Thais, Indonesians, and Chinese are all grouped under Asian even though they do not look like each other at all.
