Of course they can. Like Santander said, Arabs are considered white for census purposes (Arabs are Indo-European, of course, and share many characteristics with Greeks, Turks, and other Mediterranean and Semitic peoples)

Arabs are already considered "white" by the Census Bureau, so...
Semitic/Middle Eastern people are not white, so I have always found that strange.


They're not? It was my understanding it all generally flows from Phoenician/Mediterranean peoples in the Bronze Age ME

Well, kinda...

What's interesting is that Semites, Persians, and even paleo Balkan and German people appear to be closer related to each other than other Europeans/Mediterraneans.

The Thracians/Scythians common in E. Europe back then probably explain that, along with various Hunnic peoples. It's my understanding the Goths were similar to the Gauls/Continental Celts
