Was more amazing is the racism in the Arab world in general. I’m a black american myself and its always interesting to see and talk with black arabs, many of whom would be considered black if there were walking down the street in the U.S.
So I decided to research the whole term Arab and I have found that the original Arabs were a black skinned people. (I am about to be a geek) During the abbassid caliphate , the scholar Ibn Rumi, wrote a letter to the ruler of the caliphate questioning why he insults the family of the prophet (PBUH)

It should be understood that at that time, the Abbasids had become very mixed with the Romans, Greeks, and Persians. Here is part of what Ibn Al-Rumi said in his famous poem called Al-Jeemia:

“You insulted them (the family of the Prophet Mohamed) because of their blackness while there are still pure-blooded black-skinned Arabs. However, you are blue (eyed) – the Romans have embellished your faces with their color.”

I say this to say that we have terrible misconception of the word arab and the true history behind it, and thinking like the comments above continue to be racist, bias, and ignorant. I think that many Arabs are subscribing to European ideals which have and will always be pretty racist.

Kudos Mark on the post and recognizing that there is some racism in Lebanon.
