[QUOTE]Originally posted by Giza-Rider: [QB] Are you a native born Egyptian or did you get this impression from being tourist in Egypt? Most Egyptians, are not racist people, but their may be a few exceptions amongst the elite classes of people whose ancestors were Turkish or European to begin with. Even these people, are no longer pure anything and most of them have married with the other native Egyptians. [b]SADAT WHO IS HALF SUDANESE AND DARKER THAN MOST EGYPTIANS, WAS CHOSEN TO BE PRESIDENT---Where do you see the RACISM??[/b] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Leila: [b] I have sadly noticed this racism when ever i am back in egypt, a lot of egyptians i met would object to being called black or african. Why is it that many light skinned egyptians are racist towards darker skinned egyptians? Is there some historical context to this ie did this attitude develop as an offset from egypts colonisation by Britain? This is the only guess at an explanation i can come up with. I've been told that the ancient egyptians were darker skinned themselves. Sorry to pop up in your forum like this - just found this a good chance to ask a question i’ve been wondering about.[/b][/QUOTE] [/QB][/QUOTE]
