It depends on who you ask. Additionally, Southwest Asians are not a homogenous race in the way that Europeans are universally (and without much argument) all considered Caucasian.

The US Census Bureau considers Southwest Asians to be White/Caucasian.

Most Arabs consider themselves to be their own race. Turks usually consider themselves to be Central Asian racially, like the people of Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, or Mongolia (but not like China).

Many regional ethnicists use the terms "Mediterranean" or "Olive" to describe the skin color of Arabs, Persians, Egyptians, Maghrebis, Southern Spaniards, Italians, and Greeks, which is darker than a typical Caucasian, but is lighter than Africans or Indians.
