I remember a man in my outfit in the USAF back in 1968 claiming Cleopatra was black. And he was a white man from Georgia!
Even then I knew she was Greek!
When Alexander the Greek conquered Egypt, he set one of his general, Ptolemy, as Pharaoh. The siblings married, so they were pure Macedonian Greek, i.e.white/CAUCASIAN. Cleopatra was the last of the line, which had ruled Egypt for almost 300 years.
Once upon a time, when schools taught factual history, we all knew this.
