This isn't about tumblr culture appropriating, it's the fact that she mistook him for white because he looks white. He could have a spray tan for all they knew. Plus if it was a white guy playing an egyptian, that would be a valid complaint. That's like having an asian guy playing the role of martin luther king, it just doesn't make sense.
Dude if Heimdal in the MCU can be black (I love Idris Alba btw )
Them MLK can be purple for all I care

theres no excuse for not doing research before making a complaint about something. all she had to do was google search. that would've taken seconds and prevented them from making a dumb comment. they deserve to be shamed for laziness and stupidity
Hollywood always portraits Egyptians and tan skinned (dark skinned) but not black. they spend 100s of millions of $$ on these movies. they in fact employ eyptologists and historians to fact check and work with the design crew to get everything right. if they say that egyptians were not black, they are not black. every movie about egypth shows them as tanned
Doing research on someone they clearly don't know? She obviously didn't know the name or face, so what was she gonna look up?
if she doesn't know anything about the image to Google it, such as the movie name or his name. then she shouldn't comment at all. better to make no comment than an ill informed comment.
I don't even think she knew THAT much, she just saw a white guy playing an egyptian.
"ok, but whys there a white guy playing an egyptian?" Doesn't sound so angry or offended, just a simple question. How do you even get the impression that she's mad or offended by it.
Doesn't matter if she was upset or offended. She stated, with certainty that the actor was white, that a white actor was playing an Egyptian, leading to the spread of misinformation and further fueling the rage of uneducated 13 year old SJWs. This could have been entirely avoided-by her shutting the **** up.
Because she thought he was white, could have fooled me tbh. He looks like a white guy with a spray tan to me, so that really isn't even an issue. It's more "wait, he isn't white? Wow i never knew that, that makes more sense" . It's not spreading false information, it's simply being unaware of the facts.
So really, who the **** cares in the end? She made a mistake, someone corrected her, she most likely learned and moved on. Don't bring your bias about tumblr into this, and just look at it for what it is.

Even if everything you said wasn't ******** , he's facial features are uncommon for "white people" in the northern part of Europe.

The northern part of Europe doesn't constitute all white people, though. Italians and Greeks and Spaniards are very definitely white.
But I agree everything he said was ******** .

Well, theres this stupid ******* Afro-centrism movement going on the claims that Egyptians were black.
They also claim that Hannibal was black, the Celts were black, the Romans were black, and that white people arent humans because of a lack of melanin.
They also go on and on about the Moors, as if they were ever an important Empire in Europe, while conveniently ignoring the fact that there were quite a few white Moors. Because the Moors were in ******* Spain, where white people are native.

p.s. "Hannibal Barca is black" ******* kek
its sad as **** because they have this 1 picture someone took in the 21 century... compared to like 200 statues and paintings of him from all the way 100 B.C. to 1800+
why are blacks so sad and pathetic, really.. how are you gonna take a picture of some niga and claim its the guy from 2300 years ago? and only have this 1 picture nothing else,

funny how blacks just love to bring up the Moors with pride in any chance they get...even though the Moors were predominantly Arabs and Berbers, and the only European territory they had control over were 3 island near Italy, nothing past that. It literally says all of this on the first paragraph of the Wiki page.
But when it comes to the fact that whites colonized and controlled the entire continent of Africa all the way down to South Africa we're supposed to for some reason "feel bad" about it... LMAO
you're just a sore loser who can't face the fact that you

>the Celts were black

Well **** those people.... Why should be their stupid ass opinion valid?
Because stupid ass ghetto people who dont understand history fall for it instead of actually taking the time to learn their own heritage.
Then, if enough people believe it, they start socially censoring and rewriting history to fit their retarded worldview.
They're dangerously stupid.

Especially since the most famous Egyptian was mostly Greek.
