Why are Lebanese/Syrians more European looking than Armenians?
A lot of Armenians claim they are caucasian, since they are from the caucasus mountains, which is true. But why are Syrians and Lebanese not considered white, I have noticed Syrians and Lebanese look closer to europeans. They generally have lighter hair and lighter eyes. There are some Syrians and Lebanese that have a darker complexion, but overall they look more "white" than Armenians even though they are considered "Arab"

Yikes! What a mish-mosh of ethnicities, nationalities, and antiquated "race" labeling. PLEASE go do some reading! Stop trying to lump people together and stereotype them.
"Caucasian" is an extremely inaccurate word, applied through ignorance to people who never had anything to do with the Caucasus mountain areas. "White" is a term that is more indicative of a constantly shifting ethnic group that lacks any real cultural identity (there was a time when Italians were not considered "white"). Being "white" has very little to do with skin color or eye color. Lebanon is incredibly complicated. There are Christian Arabs, Muslims Arabs, non-Arabs, and other religious groups. PLEASE STOP THIS INSANITY!!!!!!

I know a few Lebanese people and to me they do not look European at all lol. I would have to say in general I would probably not mistake someone from Syria as a European either, especially when they start speaking.
