It's because this is an American site, and Americans are currently afraid of Arabs.I have an Arab character that I've been working on for a while. Because of that, I've done research into their culture. I think it'd be interesting to have a middle easterner RP

You could do this in pretty much any non fantasy RP. Arabs traveled extensively in Europe and even easier to explain their presence in the US or Europe in more modern years. Just because an RP is not Middle Eastern-centric doesn't mean it can't be done. I don't think it's because Americans are afraid of Arabs, that's a pretty broad stroke there. It's probably more to the fact most people using this site are familiar with Western culture and history.
