[QUOTE]Originally posted by Nodnarb: [QB] @ Oshun Honestly, in my experience many of those we call "Eurocentrics" are less interested in claiming AE for Europeans than in dissociating it from the Africans many would call "black". Many of them are perfectly comfortable with things like agriculture and other facets of "civilization" coming to Europe from the Middle East even though the latter is populated by tan-skinned people. It's when dark-skinned Africans get implicated as a source of influences on European civilization (insofar as Egyptian culture influenced that of the Greeks and Romans) that they feel threatened. Along with that, ancient Egypt receives a lot of romanticism from the Western public that would be "tarnished" if it turned out to be a fundamentally black African civilization. Egypt is commonly perceived as exotically glamorous, so you can imagine how racist whites would react if it turned out to be populated by the kind of people they would expect to find in the ghetto. Either way, I see anti-African animus as more important to these "Eurocentrics" than claiming AE for Europe per se. [/QB][/QUOTE]
