Afghan Terror Suspect Bizarrely Listed as ‘White’ in Jail Records
An Afghan man arrested for threatening to build a bomb and “kill the infidels” has been shockingly classified as “White” in official jail records. Mohammad Dawood Alokozay, 30, was booked at Tarrant County Corrections Center on 25 November 2025 — but his Middle Eastern roots got lumped into a surprising racial category.
Despite his Afghan heritage, Alokozay appears under the “White” category due to outdated federal guidelines that group many Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) individuals as White. This glaring mistake has sparked outrage and confusion across social media and conservative circles alike.
Federal Rules Force Middle Eastern Offenders Into “White” Box
- The FBI and federal standards classify people from the Middle East and North Africa as White — because no separate MENA category exists in official crime reporting.
- This outdated rule bundles Afghans, Iranians, Arabs, and North Africans together with Europeans in racial statistics.
- Demographers and civil rights groups slam this as a harmful oversimplification that erases key ethnic and cultural differences in crime data.
Public Fury and Conservative Backlash
Independent journalist Breanna Morello blew the lid off the bizarre categorisation on social media, triggering a storm of criticism. Right-wing outlets like The Gateway Pundit jumped on the story, calling out immigration vetting flaws and misleading race-based crime stats.
“Classifying an Afghan terror suspect as White distorts crime data and deceives the public about who is committing serious offences,” critics said.
Tarrant County officials have yet to issue any statement or fix the record. Alokozay’s “White” label remains live on the county’s inmate search portal, fueling further frustration.
Racial Data Debate Rages On
- Supporters of tighter immigration controls say accurate ethnic data is essential for public safety and policy decisions.
- Opponents warn that adding too many categories complicates data collection and could be misused.
- The lack of a MENA checkbox on federal forms persists despite repeated calls for reforms.
Alokozay’s arrest attracted major attention after he posted terror threats on TikTok. Yet his official records wipe out his Afghan and Middle Eastern identity by ticking the generic “White” box — a glaring flaw critics say hides the true profile of some offenders.
Until federal standards change, many Middle Eastern suspects like Alokozay will stay officially “White” in US crime stats, keeping this controversy very much alive.
