Why can't I be arab?
What is with the character creator not having any options to look like an arab? You can be white, black, asian, super white, but not arab? That makes no sense.

The arabs in the dune universe are the fremen, the fremen in this game are either dead or in hiding, and your character is specifically said to not be a fremen. so you can not be an arab.

it never had been stated in the books that all middle eastern folk went to arrakis, it is more than likely that there are houses of arab origin or planets colonized by middle eastern settlers

in the book, fremen were the zensunni, and the zensunni came from egypt.

The other thing is also, that people lived on Arakis may have evolved to look llike Arabs, since well, Arabs evolved to live in such environment on Earth.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melange_(Dune)
In Dune, there is only one source of melange: the sands of the planet Arrakis, colloquially known as Dune,[3][13] and millennia later called simply "Rakis".[11]

in thousand of years it is quite possibly people evolved to look like Arabs, regardless of initial look and origin.

So yeah, I personally would appreciate to see Arabic people in the game.

It's a book, a fiction, it doesn't need to explain how it connects to the real world. It can just plant any race anywhere it wants.
