Egyptians
I think your response made my point, but I'll leave this to another reviewer. WQUlrich (talk) 05:57, 14 October 2019 (UTC)


 * How does it make your point? What point do you have? "Africa" and "North Africa" are not ethnicity articles. They are geographic locations. You could include a link to the Middle East, West Asia and Eurasia while your at it, based on your 'logic'. 142.120.214.102 (talk) 05:59, 14 October 2019 (UTC)
 * I may be generalizing from personal experience, but I used to work for a fellow who came from Egypt. I can't even repeat the things he would say when he heard anyone put "Egypt" and "Africa" together in the same sentence. But I'm sure you can guess that his objections were racist. That was my concern here. Anyway, another reviewer will be making the decision now. WQUlrich (talk) 06:19, 14 October 2019 (UTC)
 * I actually understand why many Egyptians get upset with it. There's no need to be hostile though. It is an ignorant myth from Afrocentrists in America to simply label it as "African", and their obsession to find some sort of "blackness" in ancient Egypt. They apparently can't be content with the civilization of ancient Nubia or Ethiopia, which clearly did have very dark-skinned or black people with a significant sub-Saharan appearance. North Africa in general is far closer in distance to Europe and the Middle East that to the rest of Africa, and culturally, linguistically and genetically it has always been part of those spheres. North Africans have never spoken Niger-Congo, Nilo-Saharan, Khoisan or other languages (isolates like Dogon, Hadza, Omotic, etc.) that dominate sub-Saharan Africa. It is similar to saying that Anatolia is simply "Asian", when it is really only something like 2km from Europe, and for practically its entire history, it has been part of the European cultural sphere. 142.120.214.102 (talk) 07:40, 14 October 2019 (UTC)
