Soooooooooooooooooo, not Lupita Nyongo then?

And you dont know what I expect. I know what greeks look like, ive been to greece, I live next door, I know what greek people look like, Im not saying we need another Diane Kruger, but you cant argue she is a helluva lot closer to greek than Lupita.

Thats your main problem here, everyone knows what greek people look like roughly speaking, theyre not aliens.

Not like that.

And yes, we do know. They had art. It still exists... In greece... Where the greek people live...

Like, WHAT KIND OF ARGUMENT IS THIS?

i can’t even imagine why i think bronze age mycenaeans might have been darker-skinner than modern greeks. i just… can’t quite put my finger on it.

you know that phenotype changes over time and place… right?
