[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Old Doctore: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by multisphinx: My point is this, the way the populace of modern Egypt is today, you can't say someone who is light skinned is more Egyptian then someone is who is dark skinned(nubian). A Nubian has the right to classify themselves as Nubian. My personal opinion on the matter is that the only reason Nubian in Egypt are categorized as a ethnic group is because they are dark skinned. You can ask many city dwellers in Egypt of their heritage and they will tell you they part Turk, Syrian, etc... For that reason how can someone be 100% Egyptian.. and just because one is dark skinned like Tantawi they have to pull out their heritage to see where his blackness comes from as if his blackness is foreign to Egypt. Its contradictory. [/QB][/QUOTE]That has nothing to do with skin color. Dark skinned Egyptians who resemble Nubians in the vicinity of Luxor and Aswan are equally ethnically Egyptian in comparison to lighter skinned Egyptians from the Delta. Dark skin doesn't equal Nubian. Nubians speak their own Nilo-Saharan language and practice their own unique culture, distinct from their fellow dark skinned Upper Egyptian counterparts. Most Egyptians don't claim foreign heritage and they're known in the Middle East for proudly representing their Egyptian identity and culture. Tantawi is half ethnic Nubian. If his father was a dark skinned Luxorian, no one would be talking about any Nubian ancestry. Modern Egyptians are the direct descendants of the AE, no matter if they're light or dark; their phenotypic diversity is due to historical gene-flow during the Greco-Roman and Islamic eras.
