I will never be part of the Arab ethnic group.

Sure you can. Embrace their culture and you'd just be a lighter skinned Arab. Heck you can join ISIS right now, they are recruiting

Be more specific please.
Nose, lips, eyes etc is shared by everyone though out the world. If you are going to talk about skin color, then you would be wrong again.

Never seen a dark skinned Japanese person? Ariana Miyamoto, Yasuke (black samurai who served Oda Nobunaga)
How about a white African? Charlize Theron

Race and Ethnicity are nothing but social constructs.

The only race we belong to, is the human race. And we come in all shapes, sizes and shades.

The one you are taught is almost always the one that is associated with your sex, but you are still taught it. Boys don't come out of the womb preferring blue over pink. 

Read what I said, "gender roles are initially based off of your sex at birth."
I didn't say it was permanent, just that it is assigned immediately after birth.
