Cleopatra was light-skinned. All depictions of her in historical art prove this to be the case. The fact that even Egypt is calling out how stupid this is just shows how ridiculous all of this has become.
If these people want to turn all light-skinned historical figures black in movies, why don’t they remake Schinder’s List with an all-black cast? I’m sure the Jews would love that idea.
