Born in Winchester, Kentucky, Thomas was the seventh of the nine children of George and Mary (Rowady) Thomas, immigrants from Tripoli in what was, at the time, part of the Ottoman Empire (later, the area became Lebanon).[2][3][4] Thomas has said her father's surname, "Antonious", was anglicized to "Thomas" when he entered the U.S. at Ellis Island,[3] and that her parents could neither read nor write.[2] Thomas was raised mainly in Detroit, Michigan, where her family moved when she was four years old, and where her father ran a grocery store.[3][5] Of her experience growing up, Thomas has said:

We were never hyphenated as Arab-Americans. We were American, and I have always rejected the hyphen and I believe all assimilated immigrants should not be designated ethnically. Or separated, of course, by race, or creed either. These are trends that ever try to divide us as a people.

Helen Thomas is right in her concept. Too bad she didn't practice what she preached here at all when it came to israelis. She looks jewish herself lol.

 

holy crap!!!! dark Arabs are not white!!!

let it go already, man.

 

Holy crap, you haven't refuted any of the evidence I have provided as usual. And you accuse me of derailing threads? You keep repeating your personal opinion over and over again, you harass, but you haven't refuted any facts.

 

This just in: Arabs have decided they don't want to be white.

Counting Americans of Middle Eastern, North African Descent

 

"This video backs up what I have been saying all along. The caucasoid/caucasian/white race (or social construct depending on your viewpoint) includes middle easterners. I am of Iraqi-Israeli Jewish origin and I consider myself a dark skinned caucasian white person."

It's somewhat entertaining when liberals (Democrats), claim racial discrimmination against African Americans is based on their skin color. In reality, skin color has nothing to do with anything.

Millions of white people with black skin, throughout the world, are thought of as white people and treated as so, because they are not negros. Millions of people with skins as light as caucasians, are nevertheless ... negroes, and will be considered as such.

George Zimmerman's skin is darker than the late Treyvon Martin's, but he (Zimmerman) is a white man, but Martin was a negro.

 

whiteness is biological and also a social construct.

dark skinned Arabs are NOT considered white by pretty much everyone.
