White lefties are constantly offended by “racism” on behalf people who aren’t offended by the supposed bigotry.

Speaking of Egypt, this big hit from 1974,
Midnight at the Oasis another example of shameless appropriation.

Imagine the snowflakes losing their collective sh!t if they saw this the Little Rascals episode where they get the measles. Buckwheat has white dots on his face while the other kids had black.
