@LulMeechee @PillerWind80621 @Djdksksk274762 @Def_Not_Deuce @zaamea15625 No it's because yoruchii is racial ambiguous so people are having a consent debate over this it's not about headcanon she's black it's about actually ACTING like she is black

@LulMeechee @PillerWind80621 @Djdksksk274762 @Def_Not_Deuce @zaamea15625 Did I say your family wasn't black or did I simply say black people have a common look

[Water Pillar @WaterPillar5]

@LulMeechee @PillerWind80621 @Djdksksk274762 @Def_Not_Deuce @zaamea15625 Jackie at least still looks a bit more like a black woman then yoruchii the fact that no one thinks Jackie looks Indian but there's a whole debate on whether or not yoruchii is black says a lot

@LulMeechee @PillerWind80621 @Djdksksk274762 @Def_Not_Deuce @zaamea15625 No it's that she's racial ambiguous and it's difficult to pinpoint her race when black people have a common look even in Africa . The genetic diversity argument can only go so far when you realize how common a certain phenotype is among black people.

@LulMeechee @PillerWind80621 @Djdksksk274762 @Def_Not_Deuce @zaamea15625 And a lot of those genetics and phenotypes are the results of outside factors and like I said this whole thing stems from black people claiming a racial ambiguous character.

@LulMeechee @Djdksksk274762 @PillerWind80621 @Def_Not_Deuce @zaamea15625 You and him really shouldn't talk about education indo Pacific is primarily tied to south Asia cultural geographical etc then to Africa. Meaning she's closer to being Asian than African. Meaning the likelihood of her being Ethiopian is incredibly LOW

[Water Pillar @WaterPillar5]

@LulMeechee @PillerWind80621 @Djdksksk274762 @Def_Not_Deuce @zaamea15625 The fact that people are having a debate on her being black or Asians actually disproves this . This is her brother and her and her ancestors none of them look black really. This entire argument centers on you guys not understanding how a headcanon isn't canon

@Djdksksk274762 @PillerWind80621 @Def_Not_Deuce @LulMeechee @zaamea15625 Literally racial ambiguous women can which can fall into multiple different categories sum would confuse you for West Asians other's would confuse you for Indians

[Water Pillar @WaterPillar5]

@Djdksksk274762 @PillerWind80621 @Def_Not_Deuce @LulMeechee @zaamea15625 The average black woman doesn't have her features South Asians are much closer to her then the average black woman. You have to go for racial ambiguous women that people wouldn't assume is black at a first glance

[Water Pillar @WaterPillar5]

@Djdksksk274762 @PillerWind80621 @Def_Not_Deuce @LulMeechee @zaamea15625 You really are slow actually that tweet doesn't contradict him. He never said south Asians aren't admixed what he clearly said was your features was influenced by something and wouldn't really mesh with the black phenotype.

It's easy to confuse the Kushites (ie; people of ancient Kush in present-day Sudan) with "Cushites"; speakers of Cushitic languages in the Horn

The confusion stems from the German scholar Karl Lepsius, who named the branch of Afro-Asiatic languages found in the Horn as "Cushitic" in 1880.

The Meroitic language of ancient Kush, which according to texts studied by the linguist Claude Rilly dates back to the Kerma/Middle-Kingdom period (3rd-2nd millennium BC), is part of the Nilo-Saharan family, within which are the Nilotic languages

As for ancient contacts with the Greeks, the historical evidence (texts) suggests that contacts began in the 6th-5th century BC, when some Kushite mercenaries served in the armies of the 26th dynasty Pharaoh Ahmose II (568-525 BC) and Persian emperor Xerxes (486-465 BC)

The Greeks did eventually have direct contact with Kushites when they ruled Egypt as the Ptolemaic dynasty (305 BC to 30 BC), seizing lower Nubia and exchanging embassies.

One of the earliest Greek descriptions of Kush was compiled in the late 4th or early 3rd century BC by Bion of Soloi, who, according to Pliny (NH 6.183), also visited the region and wrote a now lost historical work entitled "Aithiopika."

Artistic evidence of aithiopians in ancient Greece is, however, significantly older than these texts;
aithiopian figures appear exceptionally early in Greek art, especially from Cyprus, as early as the 2nd millennium BC,
well before the period of the Homeric legends

(see the work of Frank Snowden)

The term "Black Pharaohs" is a classic example of colonial racism in modern Egyptology

No serious scholar would ever refer to the Ptolemaic dynasty as "White Pharaohs"

Egypt had 5 foreign dynasties (Hyksos "Asiatics", Libyans, Kushites, Persians, Greeks), but only one of them is othered this way
