If Hannibal was a negroid then his statues etc. should have been different. If you take a look at the image of the head in the first post then you can see that it is not a negroid. The face of a negroid is way different, lips are thicker, nose is smaller for example.
The people of the history channel are trying to change the history with this. Not so good of a history channel.

Although I despise this current trend to stick any black with half a talent for acting in place of what should be a "white" role, it has to be noted that we have been doing this for sometime too.
Moses El Cid John the Baptist
But who can forget the biggest mindf**k of all!
John Wayne as Ghengis Khan???
You have something against Charlton Heston? Afaik all three were Caucasian. El Cid may have been of Visigothic descent.
I heard they wanted Yul Brynner but he was unavailable.:coffee:Quote:
You might want to check out The Good Earth, Dragon Seed or any of the Charlie Chan movies. Of course back in the good-old-days there was a shortage of Asians (or Orientals as my mother still calls them:D) actors/actresses to play Asian roles.
What I find more annoying is Eurasian actors/actresses playing roles meant for Europids, such as Dean Cain, Keanu Reeves, Meg or Jennifer Tilly, Kristin Kreuk etc....
