@oatmeal I never said Cleopatra was white. It is known for a fact her ancestry was Greek descended from Ptolemy who was Macedonian. This is at least the 3rd time I’ve made the point I don’t care how she’s portrayed racially in a TV show, even 1 purporting to be a documentary as long as her cultural heritage is at least mentioned bc it would’ve informed her intellectual interests, theoretically. It’s just a TV show. Let it go. Ok #cleopatranetflix #greek #egyptianhistory
