@Jay-Kay-Buwembo "The Bree-folk called them Rangers, and knew nothing of their origin. They were taller and darker than the Men of Bree." "They [the Harfoots] were shorter and smaller than the other breeds, *browner of skin*, had no beards, and did not wear any footwear." Tolkien about West and East in his books: "The goodness of the West and the badness of the East has no modern reference. The concept came about through the necessities of narrative."

@Jay-Kay-Buwembo I will tell you some things about Tolkien when I have more time. You seem very uninformed.

Exactly. Who looks the part should play the part. That simple.

@SusiBlumentopf Wrong. - "Ancient Egyptians more closely related to Europeans than modern Egyptians, scientists claim." - "We find that ancient Egyptians are most closely related to Neolithic and Bronze Age samples in the Levant." - "They found that the ancient Egyptians were most closely related to the peoples of the Near East, particularly from the Levant. This is the Eastern Mediterranean which today includes the countries of Turkey, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon."

@jwenting "Given that the current Egyptian population is quite different from the historical population" According to genetics, this isn't true.

@Dragon Of The West No. There were black among them, they were light-skinned people among them. But according to genetics, the majority of ancient Egyptians looked like modern Egyptians.

@blonded0532 "modern Egyptians are mostly descendants of the Arabs" Wrong. Egyptians weren't replaced by Arabs, they were only arabized (= becoming cultually and linguistically Arab, but staying genetically Egyptian).

@Jay-Kay-Buwembo Nonsense. I'm a scholar of Tolkien for 30 years. You have no idea what you're talking about.

@Jay-Kay-Buwembo You read it, alright. You didn't understand it.
