This actress is NOT AFRICAN. It is a known fact DNA proven that Egyptians were AFRICANS.. OF what is NOW refereed to as "Sub Saharan" Africans.
Just because you were born on a continent does not mean that you are of the race indigenous to the people of the continent!
If I were born in Japan would my race be Asian?
For the Love Of GOD PLEASE Stop with this.. Fake Ass "Socially Correct" Liberal Hollywood went all the way to Algeria to get an Actress when there are MILLIONS and i mean MILLIONS of descendants Of "Sub Saharan" Egyptians here in the USA!!
I mean you would think that FAKE AS FK liberals would stop with this BULLSPIT!! .. Nope they are just going to keep on going pretending to be better than racist contards!
You could have cast an African American just like you cast white Americans in this film..
Native Americans were in America, then whites came and became Americans through conquest. Get the concept. Native Africans were in ancient Egypt, then Arabs came and became Egyptian through conquest. Isn't learning fun? :)
What does this have to do with Sophia Boutella? She's Algerian. There have been people living in Algeria before Arabs, and black Africans certainly wasn't the only race that lived there. This movie is about an Egyptian mummy anyway, so they don't necessarily have to cast a black actress. Just as long as it's not another European.
I love it when american blacks claim Egyptian culture and inventions as their own.
Your race has mastered the art of stealing, even stealing history, so you don't have to face the crappy reality that the only thing that west africans perfected was the art of living in their own squalor.
You're welcome for the free boat ride to America, btw.
LMAO this is the perfect example of How White Liberals and White Republicans really are the same people!!
LOL thanks for the comment bro.. I mean all you did was say the same thing that the Liberal poster said.. But the Liberal poster is trying to hide and excuse their racism away!
I'm CLEARLY not saying the same thing. If anything the narrow concept that Africa automatically means dark skin serves Eurocentric ideals more than anything else, encouraging the image that earlier and more relatively primitive cultures were all "black" and that whiteness is responsible for the modernization of civilization.
Africa was more ethnically diverse than being just "black" as we commonly understand it today. To assume that all Africans were historically dark skinned is narrow-minded, a form of cultural erasure. It's just shoddy research.
Yes you are.. REALLY you are.. You and "LIBERAL" Hollywood REFUSE to support the idea even as Science PROVES THIS that Egypt was run by People with DARK SKIN.. Not white people.
And what he said is JUST WHAT YOU FAKE ASS LIBERALS DO.. But you try and feign that that is not really what you are doing!.. You are minimizing the fact that PEOPLE OF THE AFRICAN RACE were the creators of Egyptian Civilization.. All without the help of white people.
SO yes you did do the SAME DAM THING!
encouraging the image that earlier and more relatively primitive cultures were all "black" and that whiteness is responsible for the modernization of civilization.
LOL the human race was spawned from Africa. SO civilization as a whole was started by Africans. That is just a fact!
But I dont expect a SO CALLED informed Liberal to acknowledge this. I mean you really are no different from the last poster. You just try and hide it!
Africa was more ethnically diverse than being just "black" as we commonly understand it today. To assume that all Africans were historically dark skinned is narrow-minded, a form of cultural erasure. It's just shoddy research.
Please stop!! As the genetic creators of man where tribes in Numibia are to this day know to have all genetic markers of all human Cultures on this planet. You as a human being have African mitochondrial DNA!!! FACT!
hey, isn't it time for you and your BLM pals to go out and terrify America for another week? Or are we spending the downtime creating more race hoaxes and pretending you invented Christmas too?
hey, isn't it time for you and your BLM pals to go out and terrify America for another week? Or are we spending the downtime creating more race hoaxes and pretending you invented Christmas too?
LOL you are welcome. Like i said.. thanks for being the Comparison Board for me. I mean that.
Your liberal Partner in crime thinks that he is better than you .. I am going to show him how you 2 are just the same.
She's Algerian. She may not be "black" but she's definitely not white, and she definitely IS African. You realize Algeria is one nation away from Egypt right?
She's Algerian. She may not be "black" but she's definitely not white, and she definitely IS African. You realize Algeria is one nation away from Egypt right?
She is not more African than Donald Trump is Indian. Just because whites invaded and TOOK OVER a location does not mane that they are not INDIGENOUS to the location!
AGAIN!! you do realize that white Europeans immigrated AFTER the end of the Egyptians Dynasties ENDED
You do realize this right?
Or you just think that WHITE PEOPLE WERE EVERYWHERE on the planet before its "MODERNIZATION"
Egypt is part of Northern Africa. Historically, Northern Africans tended to be somewhat lighter in complexion. Sofia Boutella is clearly not white as it's commonly understood today. That's obvious by looking at her.
Again, she was born in Algeria. She is not white. You are trying to argue that she's something she isn't and now that you're caught in an obvious mistake you're trying to cover your ass with exaggerated claims and poor research.
Egypt is part of Northern Africa. Historically, Northern Africans tended to be somewhat lighter in complexion. Sofia Boutella is clearly not white as it's commonly understood today. That's obvious by looking at her.
WRONG.. The rich Egyptians that did not have to work in the sun were lighter. It would be great if you got this knowledge. ALSO just because they did not have to work in the sun did NOT CHANGE their ,,,,,,,,,,,,
Hair Texture Nose Eye and face structure
Again, she was born in Algeria. She is not white. You are trying to argue that she's something she isn't and now that you're caught in an obvious mistake you're trying to cover your ass with exaggerated claims and poor research.
So being that she was not born in Europe means that she is not white? This seems to be your support for this woman not being white.??
Africa is not a country it is a continent. If that is the case the Mexicans are AMERICANS.. They were born in America!
She is white because of her Genetic Markers. Not her place of birth hon!
You joke about blacks asserting that ancient Egypt was black, but when Europeans claim other civilizations they had nothing to do with you have nothing to say. You are a hypocrite and a bigot!
I literally never said any of those things. You're just delusional now.
LMAO i never said that you did .. I but thanks for inventing a straw man to try and detract from the point that you are full of hypocritical racist bullspit...
You're the one pulling insane strawman arguments out of nowhere. Now because I call you out on doing that, you say I'm making a strawman argument? You're not very bright are you?
You're the one pulling insane strawman arguments out of nowhere. Now because I call you out on doing that, you say I'm making a strawman argument? You're not very bright are you?
Still cant answer the question eh.. I mean I am jut going to take a screen shot.. I mean you seem to be under the impression that if One is Born in Africa they are African. But You wont say that for a white person bore in Japan. Would a white person born in Japan be Asian?
NO but the African race had no validity. Which is why So called enlightened liberals like you keep trying to remove the skin color and claim African Culture!
Again. How is this woman African but fails to have the keynote gentic markers of most of the African Race. Even those mixed directly with another race.
Then you went on to suggest that to suggest that Africans created Egypt was Narrow minded.
Look you are just as racist as the guy that would call an African American a monkey.
There is not one universal "African race" you moron. Within the indigenous peoples there was still a diverse ethnic population.
What do you know about Sofia Boutella's "keynote genetic markers" anyway? Have you studied samples of her DNA? Jesus Christ, have you even seen what she looks like?
I never suggested that it was narrow-minded to believe that "Africans created Egypt". Again, you are using strawman arguments and making wild logical leaps. You're fµcking insane.
Nearly all modern scholars of ancient Egypt reject the hypothesis that ancient Egyptians were dark-skinned. That is a fact.
Algeria is a nation in Africa. Sofia Boutella is Algerian, and CLEARLY she is of genuine African ancestry. Actually look at her. She is African. That is a fact. She is not "white". That is a fact.
You set out to argue that Sofia Boutella is white and not African. She is not white, and she is African.
You then set out to argue that the ancient Egyptians were dark-skinned. They were not. Nearly all scholars of ancient Egypt understand this.
You then set out to argue that "African" is one big race with identical genetic markers. That is also not true.
Your understanding of history, culture, and ethnicity is extremely simplified, and yet you are incapable of comprehending what I'm telling you even though I'm using perfectly simple language to convey what I'm trying to say. This is evident in your insane assumptions and massive leaps in logic.
There is not one universal "African race" you moron.
YEP AND THERE IT IS GREAT THANKS!!. O ok There is not such thing as people of the AFRICAN RACE!! But People of the ASIAN RACE if a thing. O wait did you think that you were better than the other Troll that said African Americans were better off picking cotton. I mean you are NO DIFFERENT!!! You just said that Africans dont have a race. We are just BLACK!!
Umm hum.. do you understand now why the African American community did not come out to support Hillary Clinton and that is why she lost?? Because us blacks are just blacks who are primitive and uncultured and we dont even have a race ever though every one in our race has specif genetic commonalities.
What do you know about Sofia Boutella's "keynote genetic markers" anyway? Have you studied samples of her DNA? Jesus Christ, have you even seen what she looks like?
By the way tyhat she looks. THAT SIMPLE! She looks white so she is mostly white!
I never suggested that it was narrow-minded to believe that "Africans created Egypt". Again, you are using strawman arguments and making wild logical leaps. You're fµcking insane.
O YEAH then what does this mean?
Africa was more ethnically diverse than being just "black" as we commonly understand it today. To assume that all Africans were historically dark skinned is narrow-minded, a form of cultural erasure. It's just shoddy research.
Not that this has ANY VALIDLY to it. It is merely just words that you are pulling outta ur ass! And more hyperbole as you still can not explain how this actress is African? ANd you cant explain how this actress would not be Asian if she were born in Japan!
Nearly all modern scholars of ancient Egypt reject the hypothesis that ancient Egyptians were dark-skinned. That is a fact.
This is not a fact.. this is just more Liberal Racism. You see libs like you like to dress up your racism with lies and fallacies. Right people from the continent of Africa are not African....
Algeria is a nation in Africa. Sofia Boutella is Algerian, and CLEARLY she is of genuine African ancestry. Actually look at her. She is African. That is a fact. She is not "white". That is a fact.
RIght and I mean people of the AFRICAN CONTINENT surly do not have thier own race. WHy that is OBSURD!! 👀 Only Asians and WHites have race! LMAO thanks for proving my point racist lib!! That chick is not more African being born in Algeria than she would be Asian being born in Japan!
You set out to argue that Sofia Boutella is white and not African. She is not white, and she is African.
She is not white because she was born in Africa .. O K .. GOT IT!! So can i ask you if she was born in Japan would that make her Asian? And can you please tell me why Asian is a race and African is not!
I .... WILL.. WAIT!!!
You then set out to argue that the ancient Egyptians were dark-skinned. They were not. Nearly all scholars of ancient Egypt understand this.
Right as the people depicted n this Carving are clearly white. I mean look at how Blonde and pale that king who has gods and servants bowing to him is! He sure is white.. 👀
I was just wondering.. when does the hypocrisy end? I mean you can not explain why or how Asians are a race but Africans are not! How fo you apply the name of a continent to a person born on it but not to Mexicans or Canadians!
I mean do you take a moment and look at the hypocritical BS that you spew when you wave that I am an enlightened Liberal Flag?
You then set out to argue that "African" is one big race with identical genetic markers. That is also not true.
So are you saying that Asians are or are not a monolith?... Ill wait?
Your understanding of history, culture, and ethnicity is extremely simplified,
No dear.. Your ablity to understand in its infacy. WHY you keep trying to attribute being born to a country standing as it race. AGAIN please explain why Mexicans are not Americans...
and yet you are incapable of comprehending what I'm telling you even though I'm using perfectly simple language to convey what I'm trying to say. This is evident in your insane assumptions and massive leaps in logic.
In short you are a complete fµcking idiot.
You see .. Let get this right! You are unable to address any points that i have just made. All you are doing is making statements, Hyperbole,, Hog wash.. I have analyzed your argument and explained why it s FLAWED.. Why because it holds no weight as a definition applied across the board!
I mean i asked you a number of times to explain this, all you can do is lay down insults.
SOO YOU are the one that is a COMPLETE FÙCKING IDIOT!! Why you cant answer my questions!
As to your other argument, America is a Continent, you dumb racist ****!
Canadians, Mexicans, Colombians ARE American and cqll themselves American, the only people that don't consoder them to be are the idiots in this country that think America is only the US.
Never said that, nor implied it. You're pulling this out of your ass. And just for the record, the "Asian race" isn't a thing either. Where do you think India, Pakistan, Nepal, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and the rest of the Middle East are located? Those are all Asian countries, but they don't look quite the same as people from Japan or China, do they?
That's because "Asian" is not a single race either.
She looks white so she is mostly white!
What an idiotic statement. Just proves you're simplifying things.
O YEAH then what does this mean?
It certainly doesn't mean what you think it means.
RIght and I mean people of the AFRICAN CONTINENT surly do not have thier own race. WHy that is OBSURD!! 👀 Only Asians and WHites have race! LMAO thanks for proving my point racist lib!! That chick is not more African being born in Algeria than she would be Asian being born in Japan!
My god you are stupid. You literally cannot read a word I'm saying and comprehend it accurately.
She is not white because she was born in Africa .. O K .. GOT IT!!
Didn't say that. What a common theme this is...
AGAIN please explain why Mexicans are not Americans...
I'm not going to indulge your delusions by explaining myself on subjects I never even mentioned. YOU are the one bringing up this nonsense, not me.
I have analyzed your argument and explained why it s FLAWED

Those are all Asian countries, but they don't look quite the same as people from Japan or China, do they?
That's because "Asian" is not a single race either.
Yeah and they need to add the Russians in on that list as well. BUT THEY POINT IS that you would use the word ASIAN to describe someone with an Epicanthic fold Asian even if they were from Malaysia, Korea Japan or China.
Cause you DAMN SURE would not call them YELLOW.. So lets cut the BS. AGAIN how are Asians a race but Africans not a race?
I ... WIll.. WAIT!!
What an idiotic statement. Just proves you're simplifying things.
LOL LMAO!! that is a fact! She looks white. Even if she was a 1/4 African. She still looks white. WHICH is not what people of the African Race look like!
It certainly doesn't mean what you think it means.
What no explanation. LOL LMAO!! Figures! YOU made the suggestion.
My god you are stupid. You literally cannot read a word I'm saying and comprehend it accurately.
No only stupid person here is you.. Because you cant fill in the holes of your childlike logic.
Didn't say that. What a common theme this is... I'm not going to indulge your delusions by explaining myself on subjects I never even mentioned. YOU are the one bringing up this nonsense, not me.
You know that your logic is flawed. this is your problem. It is ok. Most people like you cant think there way outta paper bag!
BUT THEY POINT IS that you would use the word ASIAN to describe someone with an Epicanthic fold Asian even if they were from Malaysia, Korea Japan or China.
That's because the ethnic group they belong to is an Asian one.
You seem to be stuck in this belief that one continent = one race. That is horseshït. There are MULTIPLE ethnic groups within Asia, and Africa, Europe; every continent. And it's not a matter of "white people invaded (x) location and mixed the races" because, guess what, THAT IS ACTUALLY A RACIST IDEA.
What you are doing right now is suggesting that the lighter-skinned Africans of Northern Africa are not real indigenous Africans. That makes YOU the racist.
She looks white.
No she doesn't. I mean hell, even "white" isn't really one single race.
What no explanation. LOL LMAO!! Figures! YOU made the suggestion.
I explained myself just fine. Trying to explain myself AGAIN would be repetitive. You can't comprehend what I said, and it was perfectly understandable what I was trying to say, so it's YOUR problem.
So yes, Mexicans, Canadians, Colombians, Puerto Ricans ARE American.
In fact, the ONLY place that does not considers them to be is here in the US.
Thanks for proving your RACISM.
What a petulant child you are. LMAO!! Yes i do know that People in North and South America are born on the continent. But that does not make them a citizen of a sovereign nation!... Nor am i trying to name any of these people in any of these nations as AMERICANS... So your buddy seems to be!
As all you have to do is be born in Africa and you are African. LMAO.. Are you 2 like in grade school.
And just because one was born in American does not make them native American Indians!
She looks white, so she is white?
YOU are the one judging a person by their looks.
LOL LMAO.. how childish. No she is white because she looks like a white person.
As to your other argument, America is a Continent, you dumb racist ****!
Canadians, Mexicans, Colombians ARE American and cqll themselves American, the only people that don't consoder them to be are the idiots in this country that think America is only the US.
LMAOOO I know that they call themselves American... But that is not what they call themselves for their race! LMAOOOO.. You just keep proving my point. THANKS for the help!
You didn't pass grade school, did you? Or maybe you did and you just proved the education in the US is laughable.
Yes i do know that People in North and South America are born on the continent. But that does not make them a citizen of a sovereign nation!...
You are really stupid or you have reading/comprehension problems. When have I said they are US Citizens? In fact, I was making a point that only people in the US are dense/uneducated enough to think only they get to call themselves 'Americans'. But ypu have just PROVED my point. People all over the continent call themselves Americams for being part of the continent, and it is their right to do so, you wpuld know if you ever left your neighborhood.
And again, you are still claiming her to be white because she looks white, if anything the true RACIST here is you.
I guess Michael Jackson stopped being African American in the 90s, huh?

The rich Egyptians that did not have to work in the sun were lighter.
Did I really just read that?
Maybe she was one of those rich Egyptians who didn't get dark from the sun. They didn't bother to mummify outdoor slaves, did they? Just the important members of society and some close personal servants... Indoor people.

The actress, Sofia Boutella, was clearly cast for her interesting look and because she has a couple notable roles under her belt. She generated a lot of buzz from her villainous role in Kingsman, so another villain role is a natural role for her. She kind of fits the idea that most people have an Egyptian.
Patricia Velasquez was also cast as an Egyptian in the Mummy movies from the 2000s because of her striking looks (she's from Venezuela).
However, I can think of a black actress who would make a great Mummy -- upcoming actress Florence Kasumba http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0441042/?ref_=tt_cl_t11 from Captain America: Civil War and the upcoming movies Wonder Woman and Black Panther. She's very striking and has a lot of screen presence (which is why she's had her breakthrough in Hollywood at a relatively older age).

Right and My message was still WHY CAN THE MUMMY BE AFRICAN!! as Patrica is clearly more European genetically!
