Lots of Egyptians do not like to be called Arab! Arabs didn't invade until the late 7th century. Tut was probably semitic looking like so many other cultures of the Mediterranean. Later on, in the Alexandrian epoch, lots of blondes from Northern Greece ruled Egypt so there was that mix as well.

The Afrocentrists make all kinds of ridiculous claims.

Yeah. The real Egyptians were not Arabs, nor even Semites, although their language was remotely related to Semitic languages. It was more closely related to Berber, Ancient Lybian and Ancient Kushite as well as some black north African Langauges placed in the Afro-Asiatic Linguistic Family.
