Convenience and the lack of any ethnic ancient egyptian actors
There aren't enough egyptian actors senpai
No one wants to watch Ahmed, Abdul, and Mohammed on a television screen
You niggers serious?
Egypt is the Hollywood of the Arab world
He means in Hollywood itself
Modern egyptians are not ancient egyptians, also
There's Rami Malek
WE
>Modern egyptians are not ancient egyptian
they're 90% genetically identical
But that's wrong you fucking retard
wew
>tfw no more Omar Sharif
Because the films are made by white people and for white people
/thread
This is a fucking /tv/ thread, why is this here?
>Ancient Egypt wasn't white
You realize OP is joking, right?
>If Omar Sharif was cast in Egyptian roles they would still complain about whitewashing
This thread is not Veeky Forums.
Scott specifically addressed it by saying the movie needs to be marketable, hency why they put well known Hollywood actors in instead of some random Mohamed and Abu nobody in the west knows.
It's just about money, not racism.
Ancient Egyptians were light skinned arabs.
What's more interesting for me is why people care so much about the color of actors. Why does representation in film matter so much for people?
Well mostly because people identify with protagonists in a movie better when said protagonists look like an idealized version of them.
>born in Califormia
>hes gyptian guise
>lawrence of arabia was 165 cm tall
>they got a 190 cm actor to play him
Whos going to sit through a four hour cinema staring a manlet?
Waterloo was a box office hit
It was clearly so that the brave british hero could tower above the small arab colonials.
they're paranoid over racism or they think that political correctness has ruined the movie
The reality is hollywood is a business, it is not there to create art or entertain you, they would have ruined the movie anyway. When you were an 11 year old little shit you probably loved wesley crusher and jar jar binks as much as you don't want to admit it, in the same way there are plenty of people who ABSOLUTELY LOVE the sand snakes and other tokens well into adulthood, so naturally they keep creating these characters.
>movie portrays Arabs
>mexican actor
good movie tho
>Implying Mexicans aren't part Moor
Banderas is Spanish, and you can see the Moor blood in him, wasn't actually a bit choice for the role desu, apart from the Spanish accent...
>strawmanning that hard
The image says he is Egyptian.
The post says he is Egyptian.
He is born in Los Angeles, California.
These are all facts. Where is the strawman?
You see, this isn't a word you can throw around randomly and act as if you win some trophy.
his father and mother are both egyptian but you take the fact that he was born in LA and emphasize it to decridibilize the argument, that's a strawman and a poor one at that.
Bruce Lee was born in San Francisco
i guess film portraying him as chinese are racist
>birth location matters rather than actual ethnicity
Now those are actual strawman posts.
You are arguing a point I never made.
The post says he is Egyptian, when he is born in the USA and never been to Egypt.
Being Egyptian isnt a genetic thing, its a juridical matter, about documents and citizenship. He isnt Egyptian. He had probably never been to Egypt until his 20s.
His ethnicity is egyptian you autist
I don't know about that actor but even if you were born in fucking iceland, you will be brown if your parents are indian.
christian bale is jew in the movie, his casting is accurate
How did this modern egyptians arent ancient egyptians meme start,is it because they speak arabic now? that's like saying modern italians are not related to romans because they don't speak latin,and don't give me the they got their genetics race mixed out by arabs,there is no possible way a civilization that lasted thousands of years most of which was prosperity had a small enough population to get replaced by desert nomads.
Except the hebrews were semites, basically arabs with better hair
We also share 98% of our genes with chimps, that doesn't prove anything
They are mostly the same but not quite the same. Just like with romans and italians, and ancient and modern greeks
How fucking stupid are you
>never been to Egypt
>probably never been to Egypt until his 20s
west semites with Mesopotamian/Anatolian ancestry, not arabs at all. Arabs are from the arabian peninsula and didn't even exist in egypt or the levant back then
Ancient hebrews and modern arabs were not particularly dissimilar looking
The people in that pic are samaritans, they're descended from ancient israelites, don't marry outsiders or accept converts. If christian bale was cast to play one of them I'd consider it accurate
They look basically like arabs?
second from the right is a hebrew/west semite
more jewish and european looking
Well he's playing a Jew and they don't like to think they're brown.
>all that foreign ancestry
>that's like saying modern italians are not related to romans
That's what many people unironically believe. In fact they believe any current ethnic can't have any ancient ancestry except the ones descendant from migratory conquerors. The meme seems to imply sedentary populations just go extinct the moment a migratory one steps on their land.
It's just people with a hate boner for Muslims who don't want to accept that current Egyptians are the same people. The reality is that they're 90% the same. Greeks and Arabs, the two biggest immigrants to Egypt, never made a huge mark on the population.
>a group of a couple of thousand soldiers somehow completely wiped out and replaced a population of 5 million
wew
Yes user the group of people with absolutely no middle eastern blood in them are part Moor? I bet you are America as only people from that country are this bufffucking stupid, mexicans come from the mexican indians and various spanish ethnic groups so they cannot possibly have moor DNA at all.
Remember that these people believe that Spaniards are half-moor
What, thats dumb. I'm not saying they're overly moor but if theyre mixed with Spanish then theres going to be at least a bit in there. Spain was Islamic for 700 years man
Spanish people are still european, plz go with your hurr SPANISH ARENT WHITE garbage.
>le genetics don't matter meme
They do have significant moorish admixture though
Yo, was Ancient Egypt and RPG?
