I think its fair with high profile actors. They are becoming involved more and more in politics and the ones with a lot of money like Gal can potentially have an influence on them.

Cleopatra has sex a lot right?

she had sex with 3 men at least I am pretty sure. Julius Caesar, Mark Anthony, and her own brother if I remember right. she was known to have been in relationships with all 3 of those figures

also I think she kills her own sister maybe. I forget

Are we really expecting everyone on Twitter to know about the Ptolemaic line of rulers in Egypt and how it started with Alexander the Greats fractured empire? I wouldnt assume that.

It's amazing how much people will complain about things without knowing anything about it.

Would it be better to have Greek actors get representation? Sure. But man oh man, Cleopatra certainly wasn't black, and she wasn't ethnically Egyptian either.

What really makes me laugh is all the people who see that tweet, and the fact that it already has hundreds of replies, and think to themselves, "I bet no one has said 'Cleopatra was black' yet, I better get it in before someone beats me to the punch!".

Isn't people claiming others as their race like that an extreme form of cultural appropriation? Well maybe that's not a good term to use, but it's in that same vein. Beethoven is another that's popular in that regard.

There are Greeks with lighter color hair and I mean the Ramses line in Egypt had red hair, so there was more variation than you would think in the Mediterranean.

But I do doubt it when art pieces from around that period do tend to depict her with darker hair.

Cleopatra is white though, so I mean what's the pretending part about?

They should throw everyone for a loop and have it be about one of other Cleopatras.

Should Pakistani's and Indian Muslims not care that someone like Priyanka Chopra support's the Indian Government's actions in Kashmir?

Cleopatra was a Macedonian Greek.

It's probably alt-right false flaggers starting this shit. The we on the left know our history better. We're the ones that know the Nazis were the bad guys.

Lol Alt-Righters don't even know this exists, so how can it be them?

there were black and white egyptians but the egyptians as a whole are neither

cleopatra was greek. greeks are white by any definition except some nazi/nordicist definition

cleopatra was not representative of the larger egyptian population

thanks for coming to my ted talk
