So according to the US government, Arabs, Persians, Kurdish, etc people are white. Why is this?

I know my comment here isn’t helpful, but America’s obsession with race is weird. Ethnic grouping is much more accurate and even that doesn’t help cause all in all it doesn’t matter that much. It seems like the US built a few racial classifications and tried to retrofit all the groups in them so that’s why Arabs seem white when that isn’t the case in reality. I find it odd as a non-American when Americans talk about their cultural heritage and they say they’re “white” or any other race. You can’t group them all together, being part of a race completely negates the cultural nuances that create the ethnicities within that race.
