Who is White to you? Multiple choice.

North-Africa has been conquered and colonized by various European powers throughout history.
There still are remnants of Europid stock left from these hegemonies which may account for the lighter appearances of some locals.

I consider Zidane as euro-looking northafrican, BTW

They really came into Europe from Egypt. But not the one we think about, but from Little Egypt, a region from Asia Minor between Greece and Turkey. Hence the names Gypsy and gitano (< egiptano).

I established a crazy theory that ancient egyptians might have been related to indians.

Ok it was not Me

Ancient Egyptians would be related to Somalis and Ethiopians more than Indians.

i provided some info in this thread to not highjack Perduellios Thread http://www.theapricity.com/forum/sho...642#post925642

Not that im convinced in it, or trying hard to prove it but its just interesting to notice.

[Sikeliot]

If Perduellio wants me to split the thread I can. What I will say is this - modern Egyptians have no connection to India at all, and if there was an ancient connection, you'd still see some of it today.

Ethiopians sometimes look pseudo Indian as well, so I think that makes sense that if Egyptians were influenced from East Africa, they could too.

I don't think he looks more European than North African. He certainly looks more presentable than the mugshots in the OP though.

North Africa used to be white. The great barrier between Negroes and Caucasians was the Sahara desert. Because of the Nile, blacks started creeping into ancient Egypt. They later spread to the rest of North Africa because of the Arab slave trade, and more recent immigration due to modern transportation making it easier to transverse the desert. Modern North Africans are very different from their ancient ancestors. They are a mixed race today.

What Arabs are you talking about? No they are not they look White because of various European elements, the true Berbers in the Atlas mountains don't even look Caucasoid but almost Mongoloid like.

I must say Perduellios samples are not fair.

Unmixed Berbers seems to have a very specific look,i don't think they have anything to do with Mongoloids.



These kind of pseudo chinky eyes are found among some Southern Euro Cromagnid types and many Northern Europeans.

@Labaru What about Benzema?I think he looks very Berber.
