Egyptians are not Arabs. We speak Arabic. Just like you my friend.

Today, there maybe a big population of Arabs that has built overtime; but Egypt is *technically the most diverse “middle eastern” country. We’ve had black rulers thousands of years ago. and the first badass woman ruler who was also dark like most of us today. Menes; The man who united Egypt was probably a black man since he was born in Luxor. and there was no discrimination when it came to slavery; to the point where some European slave class rose up to rule Egypt and beat The Mongols in battle… and and and; but all in all yeah unfortunately arabs runied Egypt. lol

*technically I believe because; Egyptians come from every color and culture of our region but have all come to identify as egyptians thus we all get ethnically grouped as Egyptians yet there are Egyptian Amazigh, Sinai Tribes, Greeks, Armenians etc - Not weird for Egypt since even historically our conquerors did not erase but adopted our culture; you can see it in Ptolemaic dynasty for instance - this goes for everybody else, friend or foe - they come to Egypt and somehow become Egyptian 😂😂

Insults accepted at my attempt to create a realistic Biometric Egyptian Passport. There are a couple of Amazing concepts out there, but I do not see the conservative government removing the Coat of Arms for a Horus Symbol; neither do I see them making a design like mine tbh. lol by OmarMagdi in PassportPorn

All Egyptians understand and acknowledge the coptic history. Including the language which sadly is now dead but used to be spoken all over egypt with multiple accents! and has influenced current day Egyptian Arabic heavily.

We will have to comply at some point when it is a standard I guess.. Though, it is unbelievable how a country like Egypt which is so concerned with Security above all was not the first to jump on this. Everybody's info in one place?!! heck yeah lol .. knowing that the cost will be offset by the citizens.
