That's on a par with saying Americans are White. Egypt was, for its time, a vast and cosmopolitan nation, drawing upon cultures from all around the Mediterranean. The ruling classes, however, tended to be of Greek origin.

From Day One, this Forum has had a broad mandate. Virtually no topics are forbidden here, and we ask only that people use a little decorum in addressing them. Threads get deleted, posts get deleted, members get the boot, but generally speaking someone has to work really had at it to accomplish the last, and no one has ever been punted "just of disagreeing."

Sadly, there are some tender skinned folk who cannot tolerate the least disagreement, and launch into full attack mode when someone disagrees with them. That's a quick route to a deleted post, or thread, or poster.

Why are you so determined to miss this point? Egypt was -- and is -- a "cultural mosaic", made from many different peoples. Just like the US. One cannot say there was one typifying race, creed or color that was "Egyptian".

Even Hollywood, at its worst, understood that Egypt was a colorful place, not entirely White.
