LOL, the gaming market is currently ~75% Europe+USA and 25% East Asia (Japan, Korea ...) So I think its not very surprising that 90% of all heroes are targeted at Japanese and white guys. People buy games if they can identify in some way with the hero.
Besides that is not even true. There are quite a few games that have arabic hero. Prince of Persia, Assassin's Creed, Alladin, a couple of old RPGs situated in 1001 nights.
Its simple: These are the stories people know. We grew up with Cowboy, Knight stories, later police stories and action movies in America and Arabic mythology. So these are also the stories and heroes we get in games.
