what i'm thinking is that the pure assyrian/babylonian/etc. probably is near impossible to find now
becuase of how many mixed and how they just spread
especially considering the age of these civilizations and types
Bablyonians are extinct probably
Assyrians still exist, but there's like 2-3 million of them
9 Million Copts
so certainly small populations, but still exist
yes, they're still around
this argument traveled quite far from the origin
not really an argument anymore lol
Here's a Copt, for the most part actually
you can tell the difference
between an Egyptian Arab and a Copt
In upper Egypt, it tends to get harder obviously
my point is we aren't white though:
but we're another eastern Mediterranean peoples who descend from the Ancients, we're our own thing.
i can be inclined to agree
I find it funny how there were A LOT
of Copts
in the whole white nationalist thing
movement
Yugoslavia and A-H were all white, but they erupted
Ethnicity is the most important aspect.
personally how i would define things is:
seen by people as" White" in the sense of like a swede, italian, greek, anglo, frenchman
seen by people as "Arab" in the sense of muslim egyptians, gulf arabs, semites, etc.
the Eastern Mediterranean people you talk of are firmly in the middle, some crossing fully into "White"
i agree with you though
me trying to explain my reasoning is fucked
because the "White" and "Arab" thing is just too simple
and ignores a lot of little transition areas like these East Meds
it quantifies the obvious whites
and the obvious arabics or whatever the fuck
but it causes a lot of confusion for copts and similar groups
Something that I find very fascinating is that when a Copt mixes with a European
the baby almost always looks European
I have a few people at my church with either white mothers, or fathers
and they look European
you'd never be able to tell
a lot of people like that in my family actually, both my cousins are blonde and blue eyed
I was born with blonde hair, but it changed to brown
I have light green eyes
interesting, and I can see why that happens
dad is blue eyed, both grandmothers are blonde
