if Egypt is in Africa why do they depict them as being white and not black???

Question

(i dont know if depict is the right word to use)
but Egypt is in Africa, and Africa is where AFRICAN Americans are from. how come in so many movies about Egypt, the actors are white?

Answer 1

egypt lies in the north of africa right on the mediteranean sea,
most of the people there are white ,not blonds but white or caucasian, only those who live in upper egypt ( south of the country ) nearer to the equator and to sudan have dark skin , they have some strict and conservative traditions than people in the north , so this explains that most of the actors and actresses you see in the movies are white because they come from cities in the north

Answer 2

Egypt has a mix of people. north they are Mediterraneans, south they are Nubian(mixed with Sudan), east and west are more to be like bedwin (who lived in the desert). any way most of Egypt's population lives at Cairo and at the north (delta) so they don't have that black skin. they are naturally bronze or white.
add to this many races are mixed with Egyptians like Turkish and French and English and Greek and Sudanese and Palestinians.

Answer 3

same reason they depict Jesus as white when he was from Jerusalem....
They are stupid and think the world is all white.....jeez ...I mean if you look at the original populations of the world before Europeans started stealing land...the whites where the minority....only in Europe...the rest of the world has dark skin...what make Europeans think they are the best????

However...."African -American's" are from America....VERY few of them EVER lived in Africa themselves!

Answer 4

Egyptians are not not black as in *******. They are dark skined but are of a different race.

I hope that I helped you.

Answer 5
