[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Old Doctore: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by multisphinx: I am speaking in general terms here. I know who the Nubian are. You said "If his father was a dark skinned Luxorian, no one would be talking about any Nubian ancestry." Yes they would..If a dark skinned egyptian where to come up to Cairo for some sort of business ordeal, rather then being classified as Egyptian, he would be seen as Nubian. I am speaking in terms of the average Cairo Masrawi(Egyptian) perception(that has been tainted by the mainstream propaganda). Whether a dark skinned individual is nubian ethnically or not they are perceived and labeled as nubian. If a light skinned Syrian(example Omer Sharif) born and raised in egypt were to be seen on the streets there is not question whether or not he/she is egyptian. No one will question his ethnic background, he would automatically be seen as 100% Egyptian. I am speaking of the perception people have of the today'sEgyptian Ethnic identity... there is conjecture to it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uzcNImOZC7g Here is a interview with Egyptian band group from upper Egypt who are egyptian, and they talk about how they are seen as Nubian when in actuality they are ordinary Egyptians, but because of their dark skin they are automatically perceived as from Nubia. I am speaking of perception of the people. Plus someone like Omer Sharif, is classified as Egyptian. [/QB][/QUOTE]I can't understand Arabic. Where are those boys from? I found them on facebook and they listed Nubian under genre, why is that? Thats not entirely the case. If your talking about people on the street, anybody could have their own perceptions on where the people they see on the street are from. But we are talking about public figures... no one would be making up stories of Nubian ancestry if his father had been from Luxor. Tantawi doesn't even look Nubian, and looks more Middle Egyptian or rural Lower Egyptian. Like most half Northeast African/half Western Eurasian individuals/populations, Egyptians tend to look more Western Eurasian. NE African genes are usually swallowed up phenotypically. Therefore it is no coincidence that Lower Egyptians would assume that a person who looks more like them is Egyptian, in contrast to a person who doesn't. Omer Sharif is Lebanese btw I'm not denying racism in Egypt either, but I've been to Egypt and the people from Luxor and the surrounding areas are not considered "Nubian" by your average Lower Egyptian. If Tantawi was from Luxor, no one would be calling him "Nubian". For what reason... if he isn't one? [/QB][/QUOTE]
