I think the race swapping of historical characters is getting out of hand

      2nd and 3rd should be reversed if we are talking about the order of the time the swappings happened.

      Jesus was brown

      Cleopatra was white

      John Wayne is probably descended from Chingis Khan

      No such thing as Moors – it was the Moops

      TO BE FAIR

      While the last image may just be historical revisionism, there was a precedent for individuals of African descent to reach positions of high status in South Asia, considering an ex-African-slave named Malik Ambar was basically the Prime Minister of thr medieval Ahmadnagar Sultanate during the 1500s.

    4. Fun fact, Genghis Kahn was John Wayne’s last acting role. Not because he retired, but because they filmed that downwind of a nuclear test site and he got mad radiation poisoning and died, as did many other members of that filming crew.

      And how do we know that Jesus (assuming he really existed) didn’t look like that? It’s not likely, but very much possible, there are Levantine peoples of many diverse phenotypes, different hair & eye colours, different skin tones etc. Ther are even pale skin gingers like [Sami Zayn](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sami_Zayn) from WWE.

    6. Tbh people who think Cleo is black are the same who never really finished highschool soooo their argument usually can be ignored.
