As an immigrant from Lebanon this is the first time I agree with your post :)

PS: Lebanese Christians are not ethnically Arabs even though they speak Arabic. So I do not like to be called Arab because it is not true.

I had a mechanic (best mechanic I ever had) that was raised in Lebanon and called himself Armenian. He was a Christian and a super guy.
