Like how a bunch of Turks are actually greeks

The case of conquering nomadic hordes leaving much in the way of genetic footprints has always been extremely rare. They usually melt into the sedentary populations they take over, and/or self segregate in warrior castes.
What usually happens is their culture/language/religion takes hold and the conquered populations adapt it (or the reverse but in Anatolia it was the former).
Most modern day Turk's ancestors would not have come from Central Asia or whatever, but would have been Greeks, Armenians, Kurds, and whatever other little ethnicities were running around the joint.
Point being, the ancestry of the region would basically be mostly continuous, the same old thing. With cultural identity change being the main thing going on. And this is true of most Old World history.

tldr: People in that area have always looked the way they do now.

Septimus Severus is distinctly dark skinned in at least one surviving portrait.



He's believed to have been half Italian and half Punic (now Tunisian), which would make him as white as Barack Obama.

Italians and Tunisians don't exactly look hugely different from each-other lol.
It's silly even in the modern day to draw bold racial lines through the Mediterranean, let alone in Roman times when it really was a unified world.

national review's got some hot takes on donald glover's "this is america" music video

‘This Is America’ Is the New Minstrel Show

quote:

So far, few Internet fans have seen through Glover’s pageant of destruction and paranoia. Nor have many realized that it represents the worst kind of manipulation — a strangely self-conscious version of a blackface Jim Crow coon-show that embarrasses black culture’s politically enlightened history.

Glover sweeps his audience, hip-hop fans as well as other pop-culture followers, back into a “safe space.” It’s not Kanye West’s eccentric freedom of thought but Millennial groupthink and its attendant anxiety

Director Hiro Murai suppresses his own Japanese-immigrant knowledge within the artifices of music videos that appropriate urban black experience for the pretense of emotional authenticity.

there was a lot of contrariainism in the 90s i think about the civil war, where the 'woke' position (or the equivalent thereof) was to suggest that the situation was more complex than just slavery -- doing so was supposed to signal your literacy on teh subject. it was the point of a simpson gag involving apu, which was supposed to demonstrate that apu was over-qualified for citizenship:

In the 90's it was woke to suggest that profit motivated the North, not a drive to be great liberators or a love for the blacks.

These fuckos never had a thing to say, or a thought to spare, toward Kanye West's music one way or the other until the precise moment he started posting dumb chud crap on twitter lol.

quote:

Domain registrar GoDaddy has stopped providing domain-registration service to altright.com, knocking the hate site offline. The site was the brainchild of Richard Spencer, the white supremacist who coined the term "alt right" to describe white nationalist beliefs. GoDaddy made the decision last Thursday, days after the Lawyer's Committee for Civil Rights sent GoDaddy a letter asking for the site to be shut down.

"Altright.com is in clear violation of GoDaddy's terms of service as it includes content actively inciting violence, particularly against racial and ethnic minorities," the group wrote in a late April letter.

lol get hosed Spencer.
