Good question.
I can give 3 different answers. If I wanted to use A scientific definition, I'd say caucasiod/white/Caucasian. Most from Europe, Northern Africa, and the Middle East fall in this category.
If I want to give a sociological/anthropological answer, I'd say Semite.
If I wanted to use the more laymen definition of race, I'd say Arab, since ethnicity is often used interchangeably.
Since I teach sociology, I prefer Semite, though Arab may be more acceptable in this setting.
