      Words have geographic and cultural meanings.

      Culturally speaking, "Africans" are the lands and peoples of sub-Saharan Africa.

      Then you have North-Africa, where people are brown, if you know what I mean.

      That's why in the common language, African means Black, and North-African means essentially people from the Maghreb.

      Modern-day Egypt and Libya, they are part of Africa in strict geographic terms, but they rather belong to the Middle East culturally and racially.

      Same in Europe. European means essentially Western European. Asian means Pakistani/Indian in the UK, but in other countries is synonim for Chinese/Japanese peoples, etc.

        Don't be silly. Africans are the black ones. Egyptians used to be white but now they're black.
        They must have been white because no darkies could have built the pyramids, innit?

          Maybe. But only one is frowned upon. And the question is why.

            Erm, 'culturally speaking', it depends who you ask.

                Isn't it amazing how more than 1000 distinct ethnolinguistic groups can be simply divided into 'black' or 'white' for the sake of somebody's binary view of the world? Especially seeing as none of them are actually black or white, and some of the 'white' ones are darker than some of the 'black' ones.

                This really simplifies the world. I might try viewing things this way some time. Then again, I might not.
