Answer
Hi,
Arab were exist first in Yemen. Currently it is hard to tell that some one is pure Arab or not, so currently Arab is just a language and culture, not a race I can tell.

Most Arabs have brown skin.

Regarding Arab knights, there are many of them, and there are nice historical stories about them, for example: "Abo Feras Al Hamadani".
