    It’s just that you keep linking to stuff that doesn’t actually prove what you claim it does, while asking if I have read the articles…

    Your newest link:

    with roots dating back to Ottoman times

    I don’t get what is the point of this conversation. You keep linking me stuff that doesn’t actually talk about the topic…

      Ever heard of the term “genetic admixture” and population dispersion / cultural assimilation?

      Let’s disregard Herodotus’ description of Colchians for now since it’s disputed.

      Here is an example of an ethically African population living in present-day Eastern Europe: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afro-Abkhazians

      Not to mention all the ethnic groups displaced during the population exchange during the Greco-Turkish war in the 1920s.

        This conversation is so weird. We’re specifically talking about Ancient Greece and again and again you share stuff that isn’t about Ancient Greece?

          bro theres plenty of sources stop being ignorant and start trying

          also yall are wrong. they were mostly people of colour somewhere between the two with some who were very white or black. we dont have much data on this because they frankly did not care about whether someone was white or black or anywhere in between.

              There’s plenty of links and sources in this one. Not quite Wikipedia quality in my opinion, but still, one quick search. You a clearly not looking if I could find one in 5(ish) seconds, while you demand sources. I would like you to give source(s) for your opinion now. While it is more of an article about if they were racist, it does explore their skin tone. They were not white, nor were they black; they were somewhere in between. https://lucas.leeds.ac.uk/article/skin-colour-in-ancient-greece/

                This doesn’t seem to talk about the actual claim of if there were “plenty of black people in Ancient Greece”. If it does, it seems to be buried in the study
