I don& #39;t wanna retweet that fool who thinks North Africans aren& #39;t "real" Africans cause that whole thread is nonsense, but I do also wanna check in: y& #39;all know that not every North African is a light-skinned Arabophone, yes....?

Like reducing Africanness to a mythological monoculture/ethnicity is always *not good* but it& #39;s also wild how everytime this tomfoolery re-emerges, peeps start talking about North Africa like it& #39;s a single country where everyone is Arab, white-passing and Muslim which..... yikes

If you wanna criticize racist North Africans who cynically distance their cultures/countries from the rest of the continent, by all means do! They& #39;re awful! But don& #39;t throw a whole ass region under the twitter race theory bus lmao
