Moroccans see themselves as berbers and some as arabs and those who are light skinned and have predominally caucasoid features consider themselves to be "white" but not as Europeans and then there are those who consider themselves blacks but only those who look predominally black the majority of Moroccans who look mulatoe or griffie prefer to call themselves arab or berber and avoid using color terms while light skinned Moroccans may consider them to be black especially in the North but also many light skinned Moroccans with mulatoe features like the king of Morocco call themselves "white" so it's very board
