Half Dutch/Half Algerian. I lived my entire life believing i was 50% middle eastern and called myself half arab

I still won't mention it to others. Don't want to get called out for appropriating being half african in real life people are not open minded enough to understand there are non black people indigenous of Africa. I mean shit even I wasnt open minded enough to envisage non black africans.

Fun fact the oldest homo sapiens remains were found in Morocco in 2019 and they carried heavy North African indigenous DNA. 300/400 thousand years ago we have been living in North Africa yet we are all brainwashed into believing we are middle easterners and denigrating/looking down on our sub saharan brothers and sisters to whom we have more in common than Arabs.

The indigenous north africans history and culture being wiped out and replaced by middle easterner's is truly a tragedy but at least I won't be living my life in a lie any longer :) but im still sad to say despite spitting in a tube and showing my North African parents my DNA results they are calling them"fake" and deny being African as if being African has a pejorative connotation to it.

Sad sad sad world we live in.
