Unfortunately the issue is self imposed.
Egyptians spent a long time pretending to be anything but Egyptian but once being Egyptian became trendy and people used Egyptians own words against them they are working overtime to prove the obvious
@oliveegirl Okay go have fun with your Arab identity I'm not stopping you, just don't cry when someone who sees the contradiction weaponizes it against you.
That's all I was saying.

I been getting insulted by kemetists for it , the issue is Egyptians are sensitive about critically looking at history. They're fed idealized narratives that everything post 7th century is somehow glorious and that amr ibn aas and caliphate were angels
@Bedrix25116@mmmmw_88 الشتائم مش هتتغير الواقع العالي.
أنا أثبتت أن في افكار مناقض لنفسه عشان خاطر الشعب تراجع نفسها اثناء لو انت عروبي أو من مجتمع الكمايته
الموضوع عند الأقباط اسهل عشان عندنا الموضوع بصيت أن إحنا مش عرب و بس.
@mahamad802fikh@awmanspider What does the rest of the text say then? Only things that survive in Coptic still isn't any Islamic texts
We literally got pagan and even manichean texts in Coptic but none Islamic and that greeting doesn't make it explicitly Islamic.
@Bedrix25116@mmmmw_88 على فكرة، لو كنت عارف أي حاجة عن العرب، كنت هتعرف إنهم كانوا مهتمين جداً بأنسابهم. لو العروبة دي مجرد لغة، العرب مكانوش هيهتموا أوي بأسامي أجدادهم، ومكانش الهندي أو الباكستاني أو الأجنبي اللي شغال في الخليج وبيعرف عربي هيعتبر نفسه عربي
@mahamad802fikh@awmanspider Can you tell me any attestations of the phrase you said prior to Islam because right now the phrase you said is grammatically incorrect for Coptic.
It would've been said as ϧⲉⲛ ⲫ̀ⲣⲁⲛ ⲙ̀ⲫ̀ⲛⲟⲩϯ ⲛⲧⲉ ⲣⲉϥϣⲉⲛⲥⲏⲧ.
That being said unless it's attested it's wrong
@nephto2@Smasher2501 Being brown and having SSA are too different things. I didn't say having SSA ancestry or any type of ancestry is wrong either, I just pointed where the post 7th century shift happened.
Where did I say Egyptians and copts are white (besides old tweets where I'm clearly trolling)
@mahamad802fikh@awmanspider Also in your text it's transliterated from Arabic using Coptic words not actually translated.
These transliterations are common in eastern Christian history where Arabic is written using non Arabic script like karshuni (Arabic with syriac script)
Judeo Arabic (Hebrew script) etc
@mahamad802fikh@awmanspider A spoiler alert but this is still a Christian text.
Post Islamic Coptic literature adopted that phrase for some time before it died out. But it's found on lots of Christian texts like this example
