Perhaps they are trying to become more "politically correct" in their terminology. After all, "Middle Eastern" only has meaning in a "Euro-centric" context. We all know how incorrect that is. And I'm not talking about money (the Euro) here. This is similar to how "Asian" is now preferred over "Oriental." Since Oriental means Eastern --in relation to Europe. All said tongue-in-cheek. Sort of.
