Dolezal made the comments during an interview with local Spokane radio station KYRS. “You have white, European actors playing North African historical figures, like they were in the ’30s and the ’40s,” complained host Taylor Weech.
Dolezal denounced the film as “miseducation [sic],” “misrepresentation,” and “highly offensive” to ancient Egyptians. "It’s robbing and shredding ancestry and history. . . . It’s really disturbing that this is something that’s still perpetrated," she continued.
Did she lie? White people portraying Egyptians is weird as ****. I believe ancient Egyptians were even darker than they are today, so that makes it even worse.
White people playing Egyptians is just as historically accurate as sub-Saharan Africans playing Egyptians. The racial demographics of Egypt were constantly changing. Cleopatra was indisputably European or "white."
