I would either say "George is Arabic" or "George is an Arab". The "report button" has no "My answer should be accepted" or "The English sentence is unnatural or has an error" to select, though.

I believe it's supposed to be a voiced pharyngeal fricative.
From what I understand, getting pronunciation right in Arabic is generally rather important, although I don't know whether 'عَرَبِيّ' could be mistaken for any other word if you were to mispronounce the ayin.
