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.

Egyptians north of the Sahara and near the Mediterranean coast (e.g. almost all of the populated part of Egypt) are Caucasian. They have a Mediterranean olive skinned tone.

Dude if Heimdal in the MCU can be black (I love Idris Alba btw )
Them MLK can be purple for all I care

Except it wouldnt be a valid complaint even if he was white
I expect you think that all movies about other countries should only be subbed

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?
User avatar #233 to #95 - mrwalkerfour ONLINE (01/08/2016) [-]
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.

Cast of Night at the Museum maybe????
User avatar #136 to #116 - burningchimera ONLINE (01/07/2016) [-]
I don't even think she knew THAT much, she just saw a white guy playing an egyptian.
User avatar #185 to #136 - gmarrox ONLINE (01/07/2016) [-]
Then she should behave like a rational human being and shut the **** up because she doesn't have all the info. **** , if everyone on Tumblr did that, it might actually become a website usable for things other than porn and trolling thin-skinned pyrofoxes.
User avatar #195 to #185 - burningchimera ONLINE (01/07/2016) [-]
"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.
User avatar #196 to #195 - gmarrox ONLINE (01/07/2016) [-]
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.
User avatar #201 to #196 - burningchimera ONLINE (01/07/2016) [-]
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.
#172 to #32 - hongkonglongdong (01/07/2016) [-]
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 ******** .
User avatar #231 to #172 - wtfduud (01/08/2016) [-]
Italians/Greek/Spanish are like a middle thing between north-europeans and middle easterners/north africans

"culture appropriation" is just a way to make "culture proliferation" sound bad.

Asian person portraying Marthin Luther King would be dumb but please do not tell me that white person cannot play in movie about Ancient Egypt.

cleopatra was greek and white, she was in the same bloodline as alexander the grate, she also hate egyptians
#105 to #19 - anon (01/07/2016) [-]
Cleopatra was Greek, a descendant of the Ptolemaic dynasty put in place by Alexander the Great

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.
#215 to #26 - xsap (01/07/2016) [-]
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
User avatar #234 to #188 - enkmaster (01/08/2016) [-]
Because to these people there are only two ethnicities: white and black.

Everyone who isnt white is just another kind of black (including asians), and thus white people are the only problem.
#141 to #26 - sacrilegious (01/07/2016) [-]
There were black Romans, including a few Emperors.

Where's that video of the black chick talking about how the blacks built the Great Wall of China and invented mathematics and how they were never cavemen when I need it

I'm sorry, what?
User avatar #27 to #26 - kosicandavid (01/07/2016) [-]
Well **** those people.... Why should be their stupid ass opinion valid?
User avatar #28 to #27 - enkmaster (01/07/2016) [-]
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.
#45 to #28 - anon (01/07/2016) [-]
They dont have a heritage of their own to be proud of, so they steal somebody elses.

Kek.
User avatar #22 to #19 - HARTATTACK (01/07/2016) [-]
Especially since the most famous Egyptian was mostly Greek.

haha dont you know? "we're all mixed" even though we're not and Southern Europeans are provably descended from Northern Europeans
User avatar #213 to #203 - xsap (01/07/2016) [-]
"we're all mixed" is only said by blacks mostly the woman cuz they need a way to take credit in other peopls history and accomplishments cuz they have nothing of thair own other than slavery
User avatar #23 to #22 - kosicandavid (01/07/2016) [-]
