He is half Syrian. Syrians are not even Arabs. Neither are Lebanese or Egyptian, or Iranian (Persian) people. It just happened that at some point Arabs invaded their lands.
This is like calling Spanish people Arabs, because Arabs used to be there at some point, or calling English people French, because French used to be there at some point.
The ethnicity knowledge of the Americans is no better than their geographical knowledge.
