It seems like you care a lot about skin colors which is so weird for us Egyptians and obviously you have an impression that all people in Africa look a typical or certain way. Africa is so diverse ethnically and culturally. You can't expect Indians to look like Syrians and both of them to look like Mongolians just because they are all from Asia. Egyptians are Egyptians. They look like themselves . Also We don't care about skincolors. We come from all skin colors with certain tones are more common to us . I can't get the obsession of skin colors that some nations have. Personally, I don't agree with menna on Egyptians can't recognize each other. Of course we can. Not being able to recognize another Egyptian is more of her own case. The moment I saw the three girls I knew that she is an Egyptian.

unfortunately a big part of moroccans have internalised colonialism / western beauty standards and are overly obsessed with lighter skintones. the majority of moroccans have olive skintones or tanned latina type skintones actually. and even the white ones have black /dark hair mostly. Yet whenever they meet foreigners they obsess over emphasising how they have white people / blondes / people with colored eyes eventhough they are definitely and visibly not even close to being the majority. It is sad because it makes it like they are ashamed of anyone who is not white and that is weird.

Of course, she's right. Also North Africa is a land at the crossroads of many civilisations. It even started as Christian nations, when the Roman Empire converted to Christianity.

In Algeria, classical Arabic and Tamazight (in the process of unification for years but not really the political will to do so...) are the official languages. The population speaks an Arabic dialect called "Darija" (means dialect in Arabic) which has several varieties (Oranese, Algiers, Annabi, Jijeli, etc.) and at least 25% also speak an Amazigh dialect (Kabyles, Chaouis, Targuis , mzabis, chenouis etc...). Our dialects ( arabic and amazigh) contain many French words ( 130 years of french colonisation); a few Spanish, Turkish or Persian words. We can, if we make a lot of effort, not use French. Algerians define themselves as either Arab or Amazigh or both and some only define themselves as Algerian. 99% of Algerians are Muslims (there are also atheists). There is a very small minority of evangelical Protestant Christians of a few tens of thousands of people. There was a Jewish community but it was Frenchified and assimilated by France when it colonized Algeria. This community feels French for the most part and not Algerian. As for the population, there are blondes with blue eyes and black people but the big majority of the population is of the southern Mediterranean type. The Middle Easterners are the populations closest anthropologically.

The more technical reason why North Africa is not black is that the region of the Great Sahara, which used to be a savanna, dried up around 8000 years ago, becoming hard to cross and populate, and separating Sub-Saharan Africa from North Africa for most of their recent history. North Africa therefore had more demographic and cultural exchange with the Middle East and Southern Europe, although the Amazigh languages, the original languages of North Africa, as well as the dominant male ancestry (E-M81) are African in origin.

Wtf 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 the reason we are not black is that WE ARE NOT BLACK, what kinda racist sh*t is this?

Just to clarify that we don't define an arab today by ethnicity. But you are an arab, if you are from a country that defines as arab politically and in constitution and has features of arabic culture and where arabic is an official language. But DNA and ethnicity wise, we are mixed and many of us have more amazigh/berber DNA than arabic DNA. And there are more amazighs in some regions than others. As a Tunisian, I can say today I am a proud african and arab, with berber origins (and maybe other ones). In fact, I am very white, my dad and aunts have green eyes, my aunts have blond hair. We come from Gabes, where there are still some villages that speak chelha (berber language). Besides, my cousin is mixed black. And my others cousins are very tanned. I think we can be proud of this diversity in many aspects : linguistic, racial, cultural, historical... And last thing, speaking of Tunisia at least, we had many other civilisations and many ethnicities had passed by : Phoenicians (carthage) , Romans, Ottomans... thus we are very mixed

[@amal.hope.]

You didn't get the point of my message. First, slavs are compsed of different ethnic groups that got mixed. German is today a nationality, and they were also mixed throuought history. Northern germans and souther Germans are not alike. And today anyone can be German or Irish culturally and by nationality. Morever, ethnicity is something scalable, and there is no more such thing as one and only ethnicity for one person. We are more and more mixed. "The ties that bind Arabs are ethnic, linguistic, cultural, historical, nationalist, geographical, political... " from Wikipedia And I am proud as well of my amazigh or pheonician origins and traditions. Finally, like I said, it is a richness to have such diversity. And the only "ethnicity" that we must focus on is "Humanity". All the rest is division.

In addition, there are also more and more christians in Tunisia and especially in Morocco. They no longer represent just 1% of the population. These have been the same statistics for years.

For the whole white/ black situation, we aren't white even tho our skin might be lighter.

Also the reason we are on the lighter skinned spectrum isn't just because of xolonization, as our amazigh ancestors were there long before we were occupied or colonized, it's just how we look. Being african doesn't mean we are black, as Africa is a huge continent with different ethnic groups and backgrounds. For example, all asians don't look the same, as east asians have light skin and south asians are dark skin, does that mean east asians are white people or that south asiasns aren't asian at all? Absolutely not, each continent is very diverse in its own way, we just happened to be pale :)) Also as a south tunisian i don't consider myself Arab at all, as i'm way more impacted by our actual amazigh roots since North Africa as a whole is of amazigh descendance (and not just Morocco!)

Fun fact we don't care about skin color as Americans or Koreans and i personally learnt all these colorism stuff on the internet, it's not that big of a deal in any Arab country ... That one point. My other point is that Arab is also an ethnicity but all of the girls in the video aren't ethnically Arab. Let me explain a bit furthur, Ethnically Arab people are those confined to the Arab island i.e Saudi Arabia and Gulf countries but today when we say Arab we refer to the political Arab world aka the whole 22 countries that uses Arabic as their official language and No Arab doesn't equal Islam but yes most of Arabs are muslims so i guess that's what ignited the whole "Arab = muslim" in matter of fact Lebanon's official religion is actually Christian not Islam... I hope that clears the confusion

Yeah That's obviously true ✅✅✅

Okay so, first of all, north Africa has a long ancient history, starting thousands of years B.C, ancient Egypt, Phoenicians and berbers civilizations, the republic of Carthage, the kingdom of Numidia, Roman empire, the vandals, the byzantine empire... Then the Arabic Islamic civilization ect.. The region is ancient and so rich, people are mostly brown, but there's also white and black people, weather (nature) and locations plays a major role in this (north= colder / south= hotter || cost side vs. Interior side of the counties ), civilisations played also a role in this but most of the population is indigenous to the region since thousands and thousands of years, we didn't come from Europe lol. When it comes to the language question, formal Arabic is the official language of all "arabic" countries, but there is two big nuances: first there is a BIG difference between formal Arabic and the dialect of each country, to the point most Arab countries do not understand north african dialects lol but we understand theirs, it's because Arabic was mixed with the local amazigh language/dialect.. To the point that in the 20th century a new Arabic dialect was created in order for different Arabic countries to understand each other (in songs for example, media, the street ect..), its called many names like white/plain Arabic. It is also important to mention that most north african population talks at least two languages (i talk Arabic [+ tunisian dialect] , French, English, Spanish, and trying to learn Japanese) The second nuance is that being "arabic" today has a totally different meaning to being Arabic one or two thousands years ago, before it was genetic (tribes / ethnic groups), nowadays one is "culturally Arab" due to the long history we shared together after the blooming of the Islamic empire/civilization for more than a thousand years.. I hope this helps

Everytime I watch these videos from Giggle, it feels a bit frustrating. I wish they bring in people more knowledgeable about their own cultures and history. I didn't notice it at first, but since they started doing videos about North Africa (a.k.a my culture), I began to see how their answers are usually wrong or lacking, and it makes me wonder if the other videos about cultures i'm not as familiar with, are also lacking and I'm taking in false information.

[@snotje1885]

i dont like how they portrayed us as "white" i know there are some white north africans but most of us are brownish-olive kind of color

[@baltigo_4368]

That's true most of morrocan are white not brown even mona and the Tunisian girl are white, me I'm white whit black hair and brown eyes...so just accept the reality .

[@Mickaelasama]

I should have come as someone from Algeria and we have the full north African set 😂

[@Eviekaii]

yeah im algerian and it triggers me to barely see our ppl being represented everytime🤧

[@Mickaelasama]

@@Eviekaii yeah maybe is because we have a very small community in South Korea. But yet I think as chaoui it can be chaotic since our culture is very different than Arabic culture.

[@Eviekaii]

@@Mickaelasama ooh you're chaoi thats sweet, im from bejaia im a kabyle person😅 it would be awkward if they knew i dont speak arabic

[@Mickaelasama]

@@Eviekaii me too it’s similar with kabyle lol 😂 haha maybe marocan has a chleuh community who also don’t speak Arab at all

[@sunflowerangelnctzen]

girl what about Libya.. why is everyone forgetting us😭

[@eyabenali8387]

I loved all of them i think they represent very well the essence of north african woman: calm, classy and educated

[@youme1414]

The Tunisian girl says she is a proud Arab in African country. A country conquered by Arabs. It is so annoying. Jeez!

[@chaevw]

Please shut tunisia was colonized by a lot of countries before and we have many cultures: Among these cultures were the Carthaginian their native civilization, Roman (Roman Africans), Vandal, Jewish, Christian, Arab, Islamic, Turkish, and French, in addition to native Amazigh. And I'm someone who's half amazigh and half arab my dad had arab originals and my mom is native Amazigh and I'm proud thanks to our fellow arab people for spreading Islam in our country and actually based on national geographic only 4% of the population in tunisia are native arabs so that's not too much

[@youme1414]

@@chaevw You are proud of people who conquered you. This is preposterous. I thought I have seen it all.

[@chaevw]

@youme1414 did arabs killed native North Africans they just came here to spread Islam in the country ?? Get a brain please

[@chaevw]

@youme1414 We even have a statue and a mosque of Uqba ibn Nafi May Allah be pleased with him in our country he is the one who leaded the Arab forces in North Africa to spread Islam do you know how much uqba ibn nafi is respected?? And why wouldn't you want me to be proud of being half arab it's my originality if I didn't have any arabs originals I should've not being proud of my other race but I'm both amazigh and arab thank god arab muslims came here cuz islam wouldn't be existed in our countries

[@Pfyzer]

Ou grow up, Africa is a continent where arab is an ethnicity. North Africa is part of the Mediterranean civilization which is obviously going to be more diverse in colors than sub-saharan civilization where the regions are mostly of black-skinned
