Morocco just made history at the World Cup - do you consider them as Africans or Arab?

But the word Africa came from the Berbers. 😂
A European is a WHITE person. Doesn't matter how many generations a black or Indian person has been in England.

An African is black, Boers been here since 1652, they'll never ever be African.

Maybe America is different.

But as a South African, this is straightforward.
Interestingly berbers still see themselves as Arabic, no matter whether they're from Tunisia, Egypt, Morocco, Algeria etc, they suffer colorism in mainstream Arabic culture coz a lot of them are mixed with REAL African, so they claim Berber. But they see themselves as Muslim/Arabs FIRST.

The one drop rule got ya'll with 26 page thread on whether or not berbers are African 😂😂😂

Berbers are as African as Boers
:mjlol:

No.

Berbers are indigenous to Africa and have been there as long as Native Americans have been in the Americas.

Boers got to Africa a little over 300 years ago and are originally from Holland and Germany.​

A Berber is LITERALLY an Arab and African mixed. A black and Arab make a Berber, how are they indigenous?... Where did you that?

I’m Somali and my genealogy is all Horn of Africa

No Arab in me
Look how close the Horn is to Arabia. It's no surprise that more East Africans, not you, are mixed with Arabs, but for some strange reason, cats are under the impression that Africans are all a uniform shade and any deviation means they aren't really African even though they've been there since the last Ice Age and there is no evidence they 'replaced' any other population.

:mindblown:

That would be moderately relevant if they were Arabs, which they're not. :dead:



I already posted the genetic study #'s just a few comments ago:

South Moroccan subgroup: 53% North African, 28% West/Central/East African, 11% Southern European, and 10% Arabian
Moroccan subgroup: 50% North African, 18% West/Central/East African, 13% Southern European, 14% Arabian, and 5% West Asian
North Moroccan subgroup: 51% North African, 18% Southern European, 13% Arabian, 8% West/Central/East African and 7% West Asian


People claiming that they're Arabian or that they genocided the North African population are just being ignorant.

Why then is their victory seen as an Arabic victory and not an African one..why has their coach had to repeatedly state they're representing Africa..because people really know whats up.

No it's not, did you ignore literally every genetic study posted in this thread?

North African (Berber) and Arabian are completely different genetic lines. The Berber line is entirely African. There is some Arabian admixture in Morocco but it's just 10-15%, half the size of the Arabian admixture in east Africa.

LOL - so if one player says "this is a victory for Arabs", it proves they're really Arabs. But if multiple other players and the coach say, "This is a victory for Africans", then it also proves they're Arabs?

There are plenty of Africans who have celebrated it as a victory for Africa, but they're under no obligation too. But you're an idiot if you don't think Moroccans are Africans.
