Do you consider egyptians as black? If not, what race are they?

Nope they are Arabs.

We iz Arabs

 

[government]

We iz Arabs

We are not Arabs nor are we black

 

[ItsHanna]

Arab is not a race

So what are Arabs? White? I don't think so.

 

[warculus]

They are ayrabs

 

[ItsHanna]

The real question that should be asked is do they consider themselves to be black?

Yes

The real question is, are Somalis negros?

 

[Reign]

Minority of them are, the rest are a mixture of black, Greek and Arab.

 

[Apollo]

Ancient Egyptians were less African than modern Arabic speaking Egyptians. Yes, very counter-intuitive, but that is reality.

 

[Odeg]

Arab is not a race

Neither is black.

 

[DuctTape]

Who cares?

 

[Jjero]

modern day egyptian are arabs, but i am convinced ancient egyptians were black

 

[Apollo]

Ancient Egyptians were 0-1% Black.

Modern NORTHERN Egyptians are 18% Sub-Saharan. 18 times more ''African''..

If you've actually lived in Egypt you'll see that the average Egyptian is actually dark brown and looks mixed. When I lived there, pretty much everyone was darker than me. Most people also have curly hair and some even have afros. They don't all look like typical arabs, if you're Somali but not darkskin you won't stand out tbh.
You also get really pale and white passing ones who I believe are the ones with greek ancestry.
And ofc there are actual black people like Nubians Sudanese etc.

That's not true. Most Egyptians look similar to Palestinians who are also at the same level of Sub-Saharan ancestry as them (15%). Most of the Arab world got heavily blackified over the centuries since Islam instead of any Arabization they became blacker due to the slave trade.
