#(north africa is literally actoss this sea y’all)
Text
The way people don’t understand genetics history or geography is so apparent when people on Twitter bicker about whether southern and or eastern Europeans are white
#not only is pan Mediterranean travel a thing and has been since ppl could build ships#(north africa is literally actoss this sea y’all)#there are non white indigenous peoples . there’s roma and romani#there’s mongol and turkic genes and all sorts of occupations back n forth#reality is not so simple#the oppression of balkan ppl will never be the same as the oppression of black slaves in the usa. of course.#italians can be white . but there have always been african south Europeans and asian east europeans#I personally know of a black family in montenegro that’s been there for centuries#most people in the balkans have turkish arabic and or mongol genes somewhere in the family tree. many r muslim#it’s complicated#and yea I’m sure they benefit more from colonialism and white supremacy than actual asians and africans 100% that is true#but to dumb it down to ‘they r white’ is a bit ignorant considering ie. serbs were literally targeted by the nazis for being serbs#many balkan states were considered “’contaminated’ by eugenicists bc they didn’t look germanic
