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
I think the term white though is stupid, and ethnicties are more important
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
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
so on and so on
the small amount of "Transition" genetics so to say get filtered out or effectively lost in translation
so it creates appearance indistinguishable from just European
one thing further I do want to add though
copts, assyrians, select levantines (not semites as jews want you to think they are, moreso the type Assad is and shit) are honorary whites in my eyes, if they aren't fully "white" just without the "european" of it
kind of like pure north indians
not european at all, but still actually white
as their genetics still come from the caucasus
and just went through a lot of filtering and unique ingroup features that only appeared within them
to create their appearance
Yeah, I get what you mean
A lot of Copts and Assyrians self identify as white either way:
