What does the typical Arab family look like? Getty Images. I heard it while growing up in the Middle East, studying in the UK and travelling on several continents. It is always surprising to hear, because not only am I Arab, but surely — as someone with Arab parents, who speaks Arabic and who grew up in the region — I must also look Arab.
None of those things, of course, makes me, or anyone, definitively Arab. But then, what does? Both my parents are Palestinian; I have brown hair and brown eyes, my two sisters are blonde with blue and green eyes respectively, my grandmother had naturally red hair and my mother is very fair with hazel eyes.
My family, in short, looks like a Benetton advert. But too often, I feel we are forced to prove and defend our Arabness. The thing is, nobody looks Arab. The Middle East has been a crossroads for civilisations since the dawn of time. The owner of it will not be notified.

But to be clear with you arabs are known for their black hair and brown eyes.
