    Don’t forget Snow White who looks like a white person but is mixed-race white and Latina, so she isn’t white enough to play Snow White.

    And also don’t forget the very light-skinned black woman who couldn’t play Cleopatra because Cleopatra wasn’t black. (How do we know? We don’t? Cool. Cool cool cool.)

              Well I was going by the logic that illegitimate child wouldn’t tule Egypt, but that may in fact that be the case, but the argument that her mother isn’t known for sure as an argument that she was black is not very strong, when the only depiction of her being black comes from Jada I cheat on my husband then make him talk about it on video Smith

                You’re still making no sense.

                What does illegitimacy have to do with it?

                Why can’t her father have been legitimately married to a dark-skinned woman?

                Edit: Wait, you know the Ptolemys, like all pharaohs, had multiple wives, right?

                    What’s funny to me is that all the people complaining that she was too dark had no problem with the fact that she was too beautiful.

        Yes. Because the noble lineage was passed through her father. We don’t know who her mother was.
