>Make a movie about ancient Egypt
>cast a bunch of pasty ass white people

Why is this allowed?
>>
Nobody wants to watch a movie about a bunch of Dindu Nuffins.
>>
Egypt was ruled by Europeans
>>
It's almost as bad as when they cast black people
>>
>>63916993
Because movies like to cast identifiable faces to make money, and there aren't that many Middle-Eastern actors who are identifiable to Clapistani audiences.

You could argue that's retarded, and you'd be right, but bear in mind that the movie is a piece of trash anyway so it's not like a more historically accurate cast was going to salvage it in anyway.

Egypt was ruled by Egyptians and Africans.

I just liked how they cast john turturro, the jewist looking man in existence, as a pharoh.

But that also just reminds me that 4chan stole my race-blindness.

People already have, not even joking.

But people are also stupid with the "everything is either white or black" argument. Lower (northern) Egyptians are the same people you find all around the Mediterranean, look a lot like Lebanese, Greeks, etc. Upper (southern) Egyptians look more Ethiopian, with reddish skin and "pointy" noses and skinny features (there are a few in that pic).

None of the Egyptians looked like West Africans, the people who are the ancestors of African American slave populations. The West Africans were in... you know, the western part of the African continent. Mali, Songhai, Ghana, Benin, those nations and kingdoms.

They weren't white but they certainly weren't black. They were pretty much the same as the current population in Egypt and Levantine.

Ok then, from the mummies. You can tell the difference from bone structure, especially in terms of the shrunken nose cartlidge, it's shape and the size of the nostrils. In some mummies, the shade of the skin and preservation of hair is a good indication.

Forgot to say. Obviously being in the area it is it, Ancient Egypt wasn't just one completely black or completely white nation, it was a mix. But it's fact that the majority of the royalty do have European DNA roots. Earlier kings were in fact subsaharan black, Nubia had shared culture at the time. Racial discrimination of the sorts we usually associate with slavery didn't really exist.

There's also Libya and Algeria next to Egypt and they certainly aren't 'black'. And right next door you have the Levant with Levantine people, such as the King of Jordan.

Because some whites can pass for middle eastern if they just tan enough. Plus, it's far easier to find white actors than Egyptian ones, Omar Shariff not withstanding.

Pic related is Obi-wan Kenobi as the Bedouin King Faisal

Because it was made and funded mainly by white people from white countries.

Why don't you complain to Japan that they cast Japs as white people. Here's someone called Franz Stresemann in a Japanese film.

If anything, it was egyptians and east africans. East Africans have sharp jaws, thin nose, soft hair, and semi asian eyes. Their blood is mixed with arabs

Blacks ruled Egypt for around a century when it was in decline, not long before they started getting consistently buttfucked for a millennium by the Persians, Greeks, Romans, and Arabs.

...but when you're talking about a civilization that lasted several thousand years, that wasn't a very long period of time to rule it.
