They were not racist—they would see this as silly. Yes, some were white skinned—others were—Black abd brown. They were a mixed nation.

Call it "racism", "tribalism", "the other"; it's all the same thing and mankind has harbored those feelings against others, since time immemorial!

But that is NOT the point; Cleopatra ( yooo hooooo...the topic of this thread and movie in the article ! )was not only NOT a Negroid, she was NOT mixed race either; rather she was 100% Caucasoid and some IDIOT demanding that some actress portray her, who is either Negroid or mixed race, is not just patently ridiculous, but moronic!

You are in great need of learning about Ancient Egypt; you are claiming things about Egypt, at the time of the last Ptolemaic pharaohs that isn't exactly factual.

It was not really a "mixed race" nation in the way you appear to assume it was. I'd give you a history lesson, but you 1) won't believe/accept what I post 2) will learn more that will stick with you, IF you do your own research...research which MUST come from contemporary to that era sources! Julius Caesar was really quite a good writer and he, as well as many others did do a good job of putting stylus to wax, getting details down. Luckily for you, there are English translations of these works.

DNA does not lie

Publishing its findings in Nature Communications, the study concluded that preserved remains found in Abusir-el Meleq, Middle Egypt, were closest genetic relatives of Neolithic and Bronze Age populations from the Near East, Anatolia and Eastern Mediterranean Europeans.

Please note that Anatolis (Turkey) was mostly Greek and the Middle East mostly white 3,500 years ago.
