Is it true that Greece used to be quite white? - Until the Muslims raped the white outta them

[FarCentrist]

I remember seeing a few funny vids on YouTube a long time ago saying exactly that (said by a woman no less) but I can't find them.

Yes. The ancient Mediterranean in general was a lot whiter. Red hair was common (Hannibal, Ramses, Cleopatra, and David all were red-haired, Ramses proven by archeology) and a tribe of redhaired people named Illyrians bordered Greece. Frequent mention is made of blonde people in Roman Italy and Greece. The phenotype darkened due to Arabs, Turks, and other such peoples coming in.

So they got the Hollywood treatment

Greece is usually whiter in june - august

 

[Just A Butt]

i'm not sure that it matters anymore what things used to be.

Greeks are still white. Same with Turks. It's just that the latter is majority Muslim instead of Christian, so normie westerners arbitrarily no longer consider them to be "white"

Pakistan is multi-ethnic. So there are whiter/more European-looking Pakistanis, as well as more Indian/Dravidian-looking Pakistanis

The dravidians are rightfully known as m*hajirs

Greeks were always niggers. The white ones you know are from the holy race of Albanians. Educate yourself and do better.

Albanians are slavs, and therefore not white

 

[Iron Jaguar]

It still is. They just act like niggers.

Remember: a Greek is either lying to you, or not listening to you.

Caucasian or Caucasoid, which is the broader term for “White” includes people from ethnic groups from Western Europe, North Africa, the Middle East and Western to Central Asia.

“White” has changed its meaning though as these days it pretty much means westerner who is of northern, western and Central European origin.
It can include some Southern European origin people, but mostly as long as they are wealthy.

The famous wealthy people in power in Ancient Greece were probably descended from warrior tribes from further north who invaded and pushed the natives into servitude. That happened to a certain extent in India too, which is why a lot of the High Caste people there look almost Southern European.

When the Turks and whatnot took over Greece, wiping out ruling and warrior classes would have been smart.

Albanians are slavs, and therefore not white

They aren't Slavs they speak a langauge isolate. But seriously the whole idea that Southern Europeans used to be lily white until the Arabs showed up is bullshit. They've been distinct from Northern Europeans since the Neolithic. geneticly they are mostly descended from Near Eastern farmers who settled Europe during the Neolithic with a bit of Indo-European admixture.

 

[Disco Inferno]

Greeks = Turks in denial.

So no, gay turks aren't white.

Achilles is blonde in the Iliad. Brad pitt was a perfect casting for him in Troy. (great movie btw, its historical accuracy isnt the greatest but it comes very close to the mythological epic the iliad was meant to be)
The spartans were known to be blond; and through their strict citizen system it remained blonde for very, very long. This was remarked upon by many writers from antiquity. Also, sparta was not a militarist state, it was an ethnostate first and formost, and apparently it's festivals, songs and dances were amongst the greatest of all hellas.

Nigger is an anagram of ginger

Phoenicians have always been lighter skinned.

Greeks have always been a mix of lighter and darker shades

Turks are actually very light skinned as they came from Central Asia.

 

[Cloaca Rimjob]

I've seen some blonde haired turks before. Some of the women scrubbed up pretty well.

look at the Fayum mummy portraits - they look like modern Greeks, so no.
