It seems like you care a lot about skin colors which is so weird for us Egyptians and obviously you have an impression that all people in Africa look a typical or certain way. Africa is so diverse ethnically and culturally. You can't expect Indians to look like Syrians and both of them to look like Mongolians just because they are all from Asia. Egyptians are Egyptians. They look like themselves . Also We don't care about skincolors. We come from all skin colors with certain tones are more common to us . I can't get the obsession of skin colors that some nations have. Personally, I don't agree with menna on Egyptians can't recognize each other. Of course we can. Not being able to recognize another Egyptian is more of her own case. The moment I saw the three girls I knew that she is an Egyptian.
But she said that the majority in Morocco are white like her but that's not true, the majority have brown skin(Well I just understood that many people don't understand when I say "brown skin" because apparently among Americans it has another meaning, but I mean tanned skin), it's rare for Moroccans as pale as her... plus North Africa is a region very diverse with all phenotypes (pale, brown=tanned, black) as the Egyptian said, there is no single type of North African
U just judged fast !! U can hear the PD asked her if “ there in Morroco ppl are more whiter than you ? “ I guess u need to learn to listen b4 u speak 🥲
unfortunately a big part of moroccans have internalised colonialism / western beauty standards and are overly obsessed with lighter skintones. the majority of moroccans have olive skintones or tanned latina type skintones actually. and even the white ones have black /dark hair mostly. Yet whenever they meet foreigners they obsess over emphasising how they have white people / blondes / people with colored eyes eventhough they are definitely and visibly not even close to being the majority. It is sad because it makes it like they are ashamed of anyone who is not white and that is weird.
@@ho-ry5uf "tanned latina type skintones" people from latin countries have different skincolors. Those beauty standards about whte pale skin always exist
Are you 8? Anyway.. even if you were from the "first world" (which I highly doubt it) that doesn't make you any better, seeing the manners you have and the way you speak! Your parents failed at raising you.@@saroman325moon2
In Egypt, no one talks much about color. This is not an issue to even talk about. Egypt is also a Pharaonic country, it is also an Arab country, it is also a Muslim country, it is also an Asian-African country, and we are proud of all this amount of civilization and culture.
We are not really arab, like what do people want us to say, yea sure some of us may identify as arab but they themselves know very well that they are at best mixed with amazigh genes (i mean 1 lost supposed arab ancestors and hundreds and hundreds of amazigh indigenous kind of mix 😂), for us indigenous morrocans we are never gonna shut up about until people get it that we are africains and we are indigenous to our lands, sadly we always feel the need to proove our africanesse to our fellow africans just cause we happen to be lighter, and we have to constantly detash ourselves from the arab identity that was forced on us all while making it clear that we have nothing against arabic or arabs, we love everybody and we are by nature a welcoming and open culture to all who respect us and treat us the same way they wanna be treated,...we are not arabs and we are africains that happen to be light skin ,it's as simple as that 😁people don't realize that there is more than 20 millions morrocans (that's more than the half of the population)who still speak "tamazight" as a mother tongue in their daily life , which is the language of our ancestors and it dates back to 5000 years, and then there are people who lost the language to our morrocan darija, but they know they are amazigh, then there are the ones who claim arab descent..and all of us morrocans speak a creol called " darija" mixing mainly amazigh/arabic with a little bit of frensch and spanish (we colonized iberia and they colonized us back so interactions happened 😅)....but the thing is this creol that is darija , middle easterns and north africans who identify as arabs ,think of it as an arabic dialect, but the truth it is rather a creol , based on tamazight phonetics and grammar and using arabic and amzigh vocabulary, so arabs and middle easterns can never understand us even when we try to use only the arabic vocabulary, it like the Jamaicans with English or the haitiens with frensh 😂...
@guldanh right..almost as bad as the racism towards Africans in the Arab community right? I got love for all people, hopefully one day that becomes the norm.
Of course, she's right. Also North Africa is a land at the crossroads of many civilisations. It even started as Christian nations, when the Roman Empire converted to Christianity. Which explains the 20% cooptic Egyptians remaining. Then Islam conquered that place.. until the Arabs (the real ones from the Middle-East) were defeated by the rising Ottoman Empire. Which then lost to France in the 19th century.
Mona spoke out the one&only truth about Morocco not being an arab country, Morocco is actually an amazigh (berber) moorish country that has been linguistically arabized since moroccans embraced islam as religion but yet its history and culture reflects its amazigh roots, more than half of moroccan people still speaks tamazight as the native language but most of moroccans use also darija which is a moroccan arabized dialect influenced gramatically by tamazight and mixed with some french&spanish words too.
In Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia Arabic is the official language in the constitution and the Arab identity is also in the constitution and all three countries belong to the Arab league Amazigh is only a official language on paper in Morocco and Algeria because the languages are still decreasing in ratio compared to Arabic. If Morocco was not a Arab state it woudn't have a Arab dynasty or woudn't marginalise Amazigh people and culture
The questions mostly focused on skin color and other physical traits, shows a lot about the paradigm of SK people, how they stereotyped people from other countries. That's why it's not surprising how they can treat you 'differently' because of your dark skin, wearing hijab, etc.
It's difficult to picture people from other regions with limited contact. What do you think the image of Tunisia is when you hear that they provided the largest amount of foreign ISIS fighters? What do you think the image of Libya is when all you see in news is endless Civil War?
If you asked the average Tunisian or Morrocan about South Korea, they probably wouldn't known much either, or think they eat dogs and cats or something
not only South Korean, it's an Asian thing. I live in Asia and got a big surprised faces when I say Im from Morocco in Africa. Africa is referred as the black continent so some would imagin all africans are black
Great video. I especially like how Mena represented herself. A proud native Egyptian, African, and Arab. You can tell by her responses here and by other videos where she is paired with either West Asians/Middle Easterners or Sub Saharan Africans that she is very educated, knows her history, and is comfortable and inclusive of all people. She has a true "Um Al-Dunya" (Mother of the world) spirit. Glad Mona mentioned the natives of the Maghreb countries the Amazigh people. It's too bad it wasn't touched on more.
genetics has proven the genetic continuity of north africans as most of them still carry the same haplogroups iberomaurusians did 15,100 years ago, ie not mixed or arab.

Ppl from smaller countries need to realise tht ppl from larger countries are all diverse. Korea is obsessed with having a "face" that describes them but most countries have diverse ppl
People from east Asia tend to have such perceptions. But if you look at the majority of Asian countries (Southeast, South, West), they’re really diverse (ethnicity, religion)
After living with them for years you can't help but act and dress like them especially for females , korean girls are so clean and take good care of themselves, they also act so feminine so with time u just pick up that behavior.....it is weird don't get me wrong but that's just how it is
Exactly thanks finally someone said that and i am so annoyed cuz Moroccans as even accross the world we're known for being proud and stick to our culture but girls just do different things when going to korea they lose their identity and their uniqueness and to be fair not just Moroccans I think all girls do that and it's unnecessary but i think it's because of the Korean beauty standards so if you wanna live there u should look like theme

"Arab" in the sense of that most of North Africans are Arabic speakers not "Arab" in the sense of ancestral origin. Genetically North Africans/Amazigh - Native Egyptians but linguistically Arab.
ok but being arab is an ethnicity and not just arab speaker, in other words, if you say you're arab, it means that your ancestors are from the arab tribes of yemen and saudi arabia, there is no other meaning.

In Algeria, classical Arabic and Tamazight (in the process of unification for years but not really the political will to do so...) are the official languages. The population speaks an Arabic dialect called "Darija" (means dialect in Arabic) which has several varieties (Oranese, Algiers, Annabi, Jijeli, etc.) and at least 25% also speak an Amazigh dialect (Kabyles, Chaouis, Targuis , mzabis, chenouis etc...). Our dialects ( arabic and amazigh) contain many French words ( 130 years of french colonisation); a few Spanish, Turkish or Persian words. We can, if we make a lot of effort, not use French. Algerians define themselves as either Arab or Amazigh or both and some only define themselves as Algerian. 99% of Algerians are Muslims (there are also atheists). There is a very small minority of evangelical Protestant Christians of a few tens of thousands of people. There was a Jewish community but it was Frenchified and assimilated by France when it colonized Algeria. This community feels French for the most part and not Algerian. As for the population, there are blondes with blue eyes and black people but the big majority of the population is of the southern Mediterranean type. The Middle Easterners are the populations closest anthropologically.
To the tunisian girl, about our tunisian origins she should tell the same answer as the maroccain girl.. cause we’re not that arab, and our language is not even similar to arabic.. our “language “ is a dialect, and it’s very near to malta’s language to the arabic language.
well that is not true for morocco, Moroccan Arabic is 100% just a dialect of Arabic, it's just that we have many foreign words, like Scottish is very different than American English , but both are English, and genetically speaking our DNA is so very mixed that we even have Viking DNA so we aren't 100% Arab but there is some Arab in there
moroccan darija is berbero-arabic language... what are you talking about.. yes we do have some foreigners words, but trust me Arab people don't understand moroccan darija... please check some genetic and DNA studies about people of North Africa and you'll see the results. we are indigenous from North Africa and the great majority of people in Morocco is amazigh (95%). we have nothing to do with Arab people except the religion and the language (which is not even arabic but berber-arabic...) @@mrglassbadguy485
The more technical reason why North Africa is not black is that the region of the Great Sahara, which used to be a savanna, dried up around 8000 years ago, becoming hard to cross and populate, and separating Sub-Saharan Africa from North Africa for most of their recent history. North Africa therefore had more demographic and cultural exchange with the Middle East and Southern Europe, although the Amazigh languages, the original languages of North Africa, as well as the dominant male ancestry (E-M81) are African in origin.
Wtf 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 the reason we are not black is that WE ARE NOT BLACK, what kinda racist sh*t is this? Just because we live in africa that doesn't mean that we are black, we are decendants of iberomaurisians who are the native people of north africa and they were light brown just like modern day amazigh people and they share no dna with sub saharans lol, what a d**b f**k
@@ff-qn7jm no that's not what he said, he said if the sahara didn't exist we would mix with them but we already brought them as slaves and didn't mix with them cuz north africans only marry with north africans and that's why we still exist even tho we were colonized by many european and middle eastern empires because we only marry within our own and that would be the case for sub saharan africa too

She’s right, in the modern day, “arab” is a linguistic and cultural identity. Not genetic. Many middle easterners such as the Palestinians, Lebanese, even Iraqis do not have majority genetic descent from the Arabian peninsula but still identify as Arab.
@@viys3261 The Arabic speaking Berbers of the Ghomora also still identify as Berbers and they are muslims It was Pan-Arabists, Nasserites, and Baathists who created the idea that if someone speaks Arabic than he is a Arab, they pushed for this idea so that they could Arabize fully the bilingual non-Arab tribes Being a Arab is a ethnicity and its true meaning is someone who is of Adnanite/Kedarite or Qathanite line. It was documented by medieval and modern scholars alike. Scholars like Ibn Khaldun, Leo Africanus, Carleton Coon, David Hart etc in their works they described the tribes of North Africa and their ethnic origin and identity despite the language that they speak.

3:00 NO we don't have white people in Morocco. the black label was given to the African-Americans. We Africans do not go by that name, the word you're looking for is dark skinned, in Morocco the difference in skin color comes to the fact that people in the super north of Morocco "chamal" have been the most affected by european dna unfortanelty (some even have 20% iberian dna), and the ones in the super south of Morocco had a lot of contact with our West African brothers and sisters, but all these Moroccans stay the same culturally, there is of course the identity crisis that a minority in Morocco suffer from due to the arab conquests, but fortunately the new generation that came from those minorities has been doing their research and understanding who they really are ✊🏽ⵣ🖤, glad she represented Morocco as an Amazigh country, well done sister 🇲🇦 5:12
We have white people and no Northen Moroccans don't have 20% Iberian dna ancestory thats some myheritage psuedo science. Berbers are Eurasian in origin our ancestors were also Natufian, Ancient Anatolian Farmers and Iberomaurusians who themselves were 64-65% Eurasian Besides that Berber populations were also present in southern Iberia The Almagra culture in southern Iberia was culturally close to the neolithic cultures in North Africa We are not African only, their is even a small Berber population in Spain called the Maragatos
West Africans are not our brothers and never will be. We can respect them as fellow human beings if they respect us back. But we are Mediterranean and are more close to Sardinians, Scilians, Maltese people

Just to clarify that we don't define an arab today by ethnicity. But you are an arab, if you are from a country that defines as arab politically and in constitution and has features of arabic culture and where arabic is an official language. But DNA and ethnicity wise, we are mixed and many of us have more amazigh/berber DNA than arabic DNA. And there are more amazighs in some regions than others. As a Tunisian, I can say today I am a proud african and arab, with berber origins (and maybe other ones). In fact, I am very white, my dad and aunts have green eyes, my aunts have blond hair. We come from Gabes, where there are still some villages that speak chelha (berber language). Besides, my cousin is mixed black. And my others cousins are very tanned. I think we can be proud of this diversity in many aspects : linguistic, racial, cultural, historical... And last thing, speaking of Tunisia at least, we had many other civilisations and many ethnicities had passed by : Phoenicians (carthage) , Romans, Ottomans... thus we are very mixed
You didn't get the point of my message. First, slavs are compsed of different ethnic groups that got mixed. German is today a nationality, and they were also mixed throuought history. Northern germans and souther Germans are not alike. And today anyone can be German or Irish culturally and by nationality. Morever, ethnicity is something scalable, and there is no more such thing as one and only ethnicity for one person. We are more and more mixed. "The ties that bind Arabs are ethnic, linguistic, cultural, historical, nationalist, geographical, political... " from Wikipedia And I am proud as well of my amazigh or pheonician origins and traditions. Finally, like I said, it is a richness to have such diversity. And the only "ethnicity" that we must focus on is "Humanity". All the rest is division.

mmmh everything is not true here.... I agree with the egyptian girl who emphasizes the large number of Christians in Egypt. The Copts, who have been in this country for centuries. But regarding Morocco and Tunisia I do not agree. 99% of the population is not Muslim. That seems exaggerated to me. Many people already claim to be "Muslim" because in Islam you cannot deny your religion. But in fact they are not or no longer. There are more atheists than we think. In addition, there are also more and more christians in Tunisia and especially in Morocco. They no longer represent just 1% of the population. These have been the same statistics for years. It has evolved since then. 😉 Concerning skin color, honestly there are a lot of brown skin types, arab or mediterranean, with also light skin types, but there are very few black people in the Maghreb. Maybe in the south but not really in the big cities.... You have a better chance of meeting black people in France for example rather than in the Maghreb even though France is in Europe and the Maghreb is in Africa. So there are a lot of misconceptions about skin colors. 😂

Non Berbers can also have haplogroup E-M81, many Berbers nowdays have haplogroup G and many Arabs have other haplogroups like haplogroup T, this has to do with neolithic culture migrations, many Berbers have haplogroup G because in the neolithic period the early European farmers mixed with our ancestors( the Iberomaurusian and Capsian Culture ), same story for the Arabs, if a Arab doesn't have haplogroup J1c it doesnt mean he is not of Arab origin, it's most likely that he got his haplogroup from the neolithic period. By the way mixed race people who aren't pure bredded Berbers can also have haplogroup E-M81 but it still doens't make them Berber because their origin is still mixed and they are still mix race people. And!! did you know E-M81 was also present in the Levant, it probaly came from the Mushabian traits that the Natufians took and spread it around the Levant, thats why E-M81 isn't called the Berber marker anymore since it was more widespread than people tought, Syrian Arabs could have also spread some E-M81 into Africa when they invaded North Africa Autosomal DNA/Ancestory DNA testing is very inaccurate, have you ever wonderd why DNA companies show different results from each other, also if you gonna upload your results into Gedmatch your results will be come out differnetly, if you have 90% so called north african dna it can be 40% if you upload it on Gedmatch, and it's only a tiny fraction of your DNA. Even identical twins who take the same test get different results that only shows how inaccurate it is Like you and other Imazighen & North Africans you misunderstand genetics
@@hamzaakdim The only way to figure out who is Berber and who is not, is by reading academic antropologic books written by well known educated Antropologic academic scholars and medieval scholars like Ibn Khaldun, Al-Bakri, Leo Africanus, Gabriel Camps, Carleton Coon, David Hart etc. Good books to read "All volumes of Villes et tribus du maroc" "Tribal sociaty of rural Morocco" "Tribes of the Rif" "Ait Waryagher of the Moroccan Rif" "Muslim conquest and settlement of North Africa and Spain" "Les Archs tribus berbères de Kabylie" "Muqqadimah" "Description of Africa" As a Berber myself, it's indeed a fact that the majority of North Africans aren't Berber but Arab, Kouloughli, Andalusian, mixed or Black. Only a minority is true Berber, but it's also a fact that some pure Arabised Berber tribes do exist like the Ghiata of Morocco and the Ouresenis & Trara tribes of Algeria they speak Arabic but are not Arabs. It's also a fact that Berberised Arab clans and tribes exist, a big part of the Riffian people are of Arab origin but are Berberised, like the Imbraten sub tribe of the Ait Waryagher tribe and the Igarbiyen sub tribe of the Ait Touzine tribe. All Kabyles are pure bred Berbers(not of European origin), except for the Marabout Kabyles who are of Arab origin and some Kabylised villages and clans in the Boumedres area who are of Kouloughli origin

I knew the Moroccan would have something to say about the arab identity question 😂.
Love the Amazigh people.
We are not really arab, like what do people want us to say, yea sure some of us may identify as arab but they themselves know very well that they are at best mixed with amazigh genes (i mean 1 lost supposed arab ancestors and hundreds and hundreds of amazigh indigenous kind of mix 😂), for us indigenous morrocans we are never gonna shut up about until people get it that we are africains and we are indigenous to our lands, sadly we always feel the need to proove our africanesse to our fellow africans just cause we happen to be lighter, and we have to constantly detash ourselves from the arab identity that was forced on us all while making it clear that we have nothing against arabic or arabs, we love everybody and we are by nature a welcoming and open culture to all who respect us and treat us the same way they wanna be treated,...we are not arabs and we are africains that happen to be light skin ,it's as simple as that 😁people don't realize that there is more than 20 millions morrocans (that's more than the half of the population)who still speak "tamazight" as a mother tongue in their daily life , which is the language of our ancestors and it dates back to 5000 years, and then there are people who lost the language to our morrocan darija, but they know they are amazigh, then there are the ones who claim arab descent..and all of us morrocans speak a creol called " darija" mixing mainly amazigh/arabic with a little bit of frensch and spanish (we colonized iberia and they colonized us back so interactions happened 😅)....but the thing is this creol that is darija , middle easterns and north africans who identify as arabs ,think of it as an arabic dialect, but the truth it is rather a creol , based on tamazight phonetics and grammar and using arabic and amzigh vocabulary, so arabs and middle easterns can never understand us even when we try to use only the arabic vocabulary, it like the Jamaicans with English or the haitiens with frensh 😂...

Also North Africa is a land at the crossroads of many civilisations.
It even started as Christian nations, when the Roman Empire converted to Christianity. Which explains the 20% cooptic Egyptians remaining.
Then Islam conquered that place.. until the Arabs (the real ones from the Middle-East) were defeated by the rising Ottoman Empire. Which then lost to France in the 19th century.

Mona spoke out the one&only truth about Morocco not being an arab country, Morocco is actually an amazigh (berber) moorish country that has been linguistically arabized since moroccans embraced islam as religion but yet its history and culture reflects its amazigh roots, more than half of moroccan people still speaks tamazight as the native language but most of moroccans use also darija which is a moroccan arabized dialect influenced gramatically by tamazight and mixed with some french&spanish words too.
Only a minority speaks Tamazight and it is declining, your trying to paint a good picture of the Makhzan and white wash their crimes
In Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia Arabic is the official language in the constitution and the Arab identity is also in the constitution and all three countries belong to the Arab league
Amazigh is only a official language on paper in Morocco and Algeria because the languages are still decreasing in ratio compared to Arabic.

The questions are after all "Questions Koreans Are Too Afraid to Ask", so it makes sense.
It's difficult to picture people from other regions with limited contact. What do you think the image of Tunisia is when you hear that they provided the largest amount of foreign ISIS fighters? What do you think the image of Libya is when all you see in news is endless Civil War?

not only South Korean, it's an Asian thing. I live in Asia and got a big surprised faces when I say Im from Morocco in Africa. Africa is referred as the black continent so some would imagin all africans are black

In Algeria, classical Arabic and Tamazight (in the process of unification for years but not really the political will to do so...) are the official languages.
The population speaks an Arabic dialect called "Darija" (means dialect in Arabic) which has several varieties (Oranese, Algiers, Annabi, Jijeli, etc.) and at least 25% also speak an Amazigh dialect (Kabyles, Chaouis, Targuis , mzabis, chenouis etc...). Our dialects ( arabic and amazigh) contain many French words ( 130 years of french colonisation); a few Spanish, Turkish or Persian words. We can, if we make a lot of effort, not use French.
Algerians define themselves as either Arab or Amazigh or both and some only define themselves as Algerian.
99% of Algerians are Muslims (there are also atheists). There is a very small minority of evangelical Protestant Christians of a few tens of thousands of people. There was a Jewish community but it was Frenchified and assimilated by France when it colonized Algeria. This community feels French for the most part and not Algerian.
As for the population, there are blondes with blue eyes and black people but the big majority of the population is of the southern Mediterranean type.
The Middle Easterners are the populations closest anthropologically.
Proud of my Moroccan girl ! Morocco is Amazigh, we are Moorish not Arabs ! 🇲🇦👑🫡
White does not mean Europeans. The skin colour could be white but one could be Indian, Arab, Korean etc
when did theiy say theiy were europeans ? the white color skin is not exclusive to europe
Same can be said for Black, since black skin is not exclusive to African ppl.
It's called Caucasians race!! Human has no white skin
Algerian girlie here, thank you for the video, it was very fun and so good to see North African persons ❤😊

Love Morocco 🇺🇸🇲🇦♥️
Thank you
To the tunisian girl, about our tunisian origins she should tell the same answer as the maroccain girl.. cause we’re not that arab, and our language is not even similar to arabic.. our “language “ is a dialect, and it’s very near to malta’s language to the arabic language.
well that is not true for morocco, Moroccan Arabic is 100% just a dialect of Arabic, it's just that we have many foreign words, like Scottish is very different than American English , but both are English, and genetically speaking our DNA is so very mixed that we even have Viking DNA so we aren't 100% Arab but there is some Arab in there
Yeah 100% arabic that arabs themselves can't understand, wake up to reality dear مستعرب@@mrglassbadguy485
We do speak Arabic n we do have Arabian country so we're Arabs that's a fact
please go study!! @@miikasa4255
moroccan darija is berbero-arabic language... what are you talking about.. yes we do have some foreigners words, but trust me Arab people don't understand moroccan darija... please check some genetic and DNA studies about people of North Africa and you'll see the results. we are indigenous from North Africa and the great majority of people in Morocco is amazigh (95%). we have nothing to do with Arab people except the religion and the language (which is not even arabic but berber-arabic...) @@mrglassbadguy485
I wish us Tunisians claimed / embraced more our Amazigh ancestry.
We know its a tool to divide us, we are just tunisians now. Wake up and stop giving your enemies ways to split us even more. We were once one nation
Get real, there's nothing to embrace. Most Tunisians have Arabian ancestry, or Semitic at least. Go get a DNA test..
No! Majority is Arab. Berber’s are a minority
@@ab456z language wise yes, ethnicity tho ? No.
An amazigh can marry an arab so both
Morrocan are amazighian♓♓♓
The more technical reason why North Africa is not black is that the region of the Great Sahara, which used to be a savanna, dried up around 8000 years ago, becoming hard to cross and populate, and separating Sub-Saharan Africa from North Africa for most of their recent history. North Africa therefore had more demographic and cultural exchange with the Middle East and Southern Europe, although the Amazigh languages, the original languages of North Africa, as well as the dominant male ancestry (E-M81) are African in origin.
Wtf 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 the reason we are not black is that WE ARE NOT BLACK, what kinda racist sh*t is this? Just because we live in africa that doesn't mean that we are black, we are decendants of iberomaurisians who are the native people of north africa and they were light brown just like modern day amazigh people and they share no dna with sub saharans lol, what a d**b f**k
@@billysanchez-eh6nnthat's what he said relax lol (E-M81) is the Amazigh gene so we're Africans too
@@ff-qn7jm no that's not what he said, he said if the sahara didn't exist we would mix with them but we already brought them as slaves and didn't mix with them cuz north africans only marry with north africans and that's why we still exist even tho we were colonized by many european and middle eastern empires because we only marry within our own and that would be the case for sub saharan africa too
@@billysanchez-eh6nn bruh that's bs lol the majority of mixed marriage in Morocco is find in the Amazigh area Souss and the Rif (yes i know a lot of rifian who marry spanish or european womens and a lot of riffian women who marry subsaharien or syrian or arabs men) , ila knti meghribi rah kayna wahad ljomla katsma3ha bzf dyal ana 3arbi o lwalida chelha hhhhh w hta hna f l'Europe l'amazighiat kay tzewjo bkolchi surtout l3rab (soryin o l3ira9yin o lmisryin...) wl akrad w les subsaharien hhhhhh ma tb9ach tkdeb 3la rasek bhad lhadra hit ma kaynach aslan (ghir rjal amazigh li kay fakro fhal haka mn ghir wahed lminority li kaytzowjo european women ama amazighiat 3andhom 3adi itzowjo bwahed machi amazigh chouf les statistiques dyal mixed marriage li aslan so high fl maroc mo9arana b ba9i dowal in our region o 76% of this marriages 3and les femmes o ghir 24% dyal mixed marriages 3and les hommes) Moroccans are already mixed , the DNA only show paternal ancestry and it's normal to have high local genes since amazigh man mostly marry amazigh women but we still have others since amazigh women can mary a man from outside of north africa

The ancient Egyptians were multi-colored... and this is scientifically proven through the DNA of ancient mummies. We still carry most of their many genes. In addition to a few genes of the peoples of the Mediterranean and a few Arab Semitic genes. Our Arab identity is culture, language and religion.
2:35 its sad to see how they couldnt provide a proper answer here due to what unfortunately is probably due to being amongst majority of people who are not well informed or maybe have background knowledge on effect or causes behind the genetic phenotype or appearance being highly influenced by weather conditions, geographical location and the distance from the equator as well as the obvious immigration history.
like to give an example north africans who are on the Mediterranean side of the continent could have more similar phenotypical traits to Europeans on Mediterranean side or southmost of Europe than north and east of europeans due to naturally developing and being exposed to similar weather conditions!
" we speak arab so we are Arabs" what kinda logic is that?
At least the Moroccan girl knows her history
She have to do a dna test I'm tunisian and my dad have arab originals mh last name is hamamami and hamama were an Arab tribe from Saudi Arabia who came to North Africa mostly in Algeria and tunisia and my mom is amazigh so I'm mixed and there's a lot of mixed people in North Africa
She’s right, in the modern day, “arab” is a linguistic and cultural identity. Not genetic. Many middle easterners such as the Palestinians, Lebanese, even Iraqis do not have majority genetic descent from the Arabian peninsula but still identify as Arab.
@@viys3261 The Arabic speaking Berbers of the Ghomora also still identify as Berbers and they are muslims
It was Pan-Arabists, Nasserites, and Baathists who created the idea that if someone speaks Arabic than he is a Arab, they pushed for this idea so that they could Arabize fully the bilingual non-Arab tribes
Being a Arab is a ethnicity and its true meaning is someone who is of Adnanite/Kedarite or Qathanite line.
It was documented by medieval and modern scholars alike.
Scholars like Ibn Khaldun, Leo Africanus, Carleton Coon, David Hart etc in their works they described the tribes of North Africa and their ethnic origin and identity despite the language that they speak.
Many Iraqi's, Syrians, and Palestinians are the offspring of the Ghassanid, Lakhmid, Nabatean, and Tanûkhids Arabs
What you say are not facts at all
Actually Palestinians, Lebanese and Iraqis mostly have Arab genetics.. Arab genetics doesn't mean "DNA from the Arabian peninsula" since Arabs originated in Iraq or Palestine, to begin with, Ismael was the first Arab and his father Ibrahim was born in either Iraq or Palestine.. @@viys3261
We are mix raced
Also skin color doesn't matter
Africa is a continent not a country

Really wish there was an Algerian girl, but proud of my fellow north african girls and amazigh
Berber ( Amazigh) is an official language in Algeria and Morocco...and it s so different in writing and spoken with Arabic ...and to bad no Algerian there ~~
African beauty 😍
3:00 NO we don't have white people in Morocco. the black label was given to the African-Americans. We Africans do not go by that name, the word you're looking for is dark skinned, in Morocco the difference in skin color comes to the fact that people in the super north of Morocco "chamal" have been the most affected by european dna unfortanelty (some even have 20% iberian dna), and the ones in the super south of Morocco had a lot of contact with our West African brothers and sisters, but all these Moroccans stay the same culturally, there is of course the identity crisis that a minority in Morocco suffer from due to the arab conquests, but fortunately the new generation that came from those minorities has been doing their research and understanding who they really are ✊🏽ⵣ🖤, glad she represented Morocco as an Amazigh country, well done sister 🇲🇦 5:12
she means caucasian
We have white people and no Northen Moroccans don't have 20% Iberian dna ancestory thats some myheritage psuedo science.
Berbers are Eurasian in origin our ancestors were also Natufian, Ancient Anatolian Farmers and Iberomaurusians who themselves were 64-65% Eurasian
Besides that Berber populations were also present in southern Iberia
The Almagra culture in southern Iberia was culturally close to the neolithic cultures in North Africa
We are not African only, their is even a small Berber population in Spain called the Maragatos
West Africans are not our brothers and never will be.
We can respect them as fellow human beings if they respect us back.
But we are Mediterranean and are more close to Sardinians, Scilians, Maltese people
Read about the Trans-Saharan slave trade and how the Berber tribes treated west Africans.
The West Africans were taken as slaves by Berber tribes and were heavly discriminated against.
In the Ait Yafelman and Ait Atta tribes for example they were not allowed to own land
@@Revitalization4241 keep spreading misinformation like this you might end up working for the IDF one day who knows, first of all we are Amazigh not berber, just like we were given the black label when some of our ancestors were taken to America, the europeans gave us the Berber name, I’m not gonna let some random white washed person rewrite MY history, no matter what you say Moroccans will always be proud of who they are.
It's astonishing how little these people know about the world.
All people around Mediterranean have very similar characteristics. Blue eyes and blond hairs come from Vikings.
Just to clarify that we don't define an arab today by ethnicity. But you are an arab, if you are from a country that defines as arab politically and in constitution and has features of arabic culture and where arabic is an official language. But DNA and ethnicity wise, we are mixed and many of us have more amazigh/berber DNA than arabic DNA. And there are more amazighs in some regions than others.
As a Tunisian, I can say today I am a proud african and arab, with berber origins (and maybe other ones). In fact, I am very white, my dad and aunts have green eyes, my aunts have blond hair. We come from Gabes, where there are still some villages that speak chelha (berber language). Besides, my cousin is mixed black. And my others cousins are very tanned.
I think we can be proud of this diversity in many aspects : linguistic, racial, cultural, historical...
And last thing, speaking of Tunisia at least, we had many other civilisations and many ethnicities had passed by : Phoenicians (carthage) , Romans, Ottomans... thus we are very mixed
noo, arab is an ethnicity, in other words, if you're arab your ancetors are from yemen
@@AdamAzzr Today being an arab is not only an ethnicity. If it is only an ethnicity, than the majority of inhabitants of arab countries are not arabs.
@@amal.hope. being arab is an ethnicity, like being slav, or german or irish
You didn't get the point of my message.
First, slavs are compsed of different ethnic groups that got mixed. German is today a nationality, and they were also mixed throuought history. Northern germans and souther Germans are not alike. And today anyone can be German or Irish culturally and by nationality.
Morever, ethnicity is something scalable, and there is no more such thing as one and only ethnicity for one person. We are more and more mixed.
"The ties that bind Arabs are ethnic, linguistic, cultural, historical, nationalist, geographical, political... " from Wikipedia
And I am proud as well of my amazigh or pheonician origins and traditions.
Finally, like I said, it is a richness to have such diversity. And the only "ethnicity" that we must focus on is "Humanity". All the rest is division.
you have to love yourself at some point and stop trying to appear arab ... lol it's sad @@amal.hope.
Everytime I watch these videos from Giggle, it feels a bit frustrating. I wish they bring in people more knowledgeable about their own cultures and history. I didn't notice it at first, but since they started doing videos about North Africa (a.k.a my culture), I began to see how their answers are usually wrong or lacking, and it makes me wonder if the other videos about cultures i'm not as familiar with, are also lacking and I'm taking in false information.
AS an algerian i have to praise the morrocan girl for speaking about the amazigh nature of north africa
and also we d'ont speak arab and we are not arab we are amazigh and once again I speak for my country Morocco which has a different language from the rest of the North African countries. I'm proud to be Africain

@@samiaramdani7569 What are you saying "Amazigh Arab country" waw the dumbest thing I've heard. you're not Arab, stop wanting to be Arab so bad, if you want to be, go to the Middle East and leave my country alone. and if you didn't know, only 20% of the population in Morocco is Arab, the rest is Amazigh. I didn't grow up in Morocco for your information and even if I had been, I would have refused to learn this language. You're all funny anyways i'm proud to be AFRICAIN
@@riri_1234
You straight up lied. Said Moroccans dont speak Arabic. Thats a lie. Liar.
mmmh everything is not true here.... I agree with the egyptian girl who emphasizes the large number of Christians in Egypt. The Copts, who have been in this country for centuries. But regarding Morocco and Tunisia I do not agree. 99% of the population is not Muslim. That seems exaggerated to me. Many people already claim to be "Muslim" because in Islam you cannot deny your religion. But in fact they are not or no longer. There are more atheists than we think. In addition, there are also more and more christians in Tunisia and especially in Morocco. They no longer represent just 1% of the population. These have been the same statistics for years. It has evolved since then. 😉
Concerning skin color, honestly there are a lot of brown skin types, arab or mediterranean, with also light skin types, but there are very few black people in the Maghreb. Maybe in the south but not really in the big cities.... You have a better chance of meeting black people in France for example rather than in the Maghreb even though France is in Europe and the Maghreb is in Africa. So there are a lot of misconceptions about skin colors. 😂
Alive why are you sad that Islam is prevalent in Muslim countries. They practice even more than those in western lands so no, they have not become ‘less religious’
morocco is 99% muslim, don't even try to spread fake news
Bro, everyone litterly says their Muslims you won't even find a church

@@hamzaakdim The only accurate kind of DNA testing is haplogroup tests or Y-DNA testing. However many people misundertsand haplogroup testing, they automatically think if someone has haplogroup E-M81 he is a Berber or if he has J1c he is a Arab, but thats untrue. Non Berbers can also have haplogroup E-M81, many Berbers nowdays have haplogroup G and many Arabs have other haplogroups like haplogroup T, this has to do with neolithic culture migrations, many Berbers have haplogroup G because in the neolithic period the early European farmers mixed with our ancestors( the Iberomaurusian and Capsian Culture ), same story for the Arabs, if a Arab doesn't have haplogroup J1c it doesnt mean he is not of Arab origin, it's most likely that he got his haplogroup from the neolithic period.
By the way mixed race people who aren't pure bredded Berbers can also have haplogroup E-M81 but it still doens't make them Berber because their origin is still mixed and they are still mix race people.
And!! did you know E-M81 was also present in the Levant, it probaly came from the Mushabian traits that the Natufians took and spread it around the Levant, thats why E-M81 isn't called the Berber marker anymore since it was more widespread than people tought, Syrian Arabs could have also spread some E-M81 into Africa when they invaded North Africa
Autosomal DNA/Ancestory DNA testing is very inaccurate, have you ever wonderd why DNA companies show different results from each other, also if you gonna upload your results into Gedmatch your results will be come out differnetly, if you have 90% so called north african dna it can be 40% if you upload it on Gedmatch, and it's only a tiny fraction of your DNA. Even identical twins who take the same test get different results that only shows how inaccurate it is
Like you and other Imazighen & North Africans you misunderstand genetics
@@hamzaakdim The only way to figure out who is Berber and who is not, is by reading academic antropologic books written by well known educated Antropologic academic scholars and medieval scholars like Ibn Khaldun, Al-Bakri, Leo Africanus, Gabriel Camps, Carleton Coon, David Hart etc.
Good books to read
"All volumes of Villes et tribus du maroc"
"Tribal sociaty of rural Morocco"
"Tribes of the Rif"
"Ait Waryagher of the Moroccan Rif"
"Muslim conquest and settlement of North Africa and Spain"
"Les Archs tribus berbères de Kabylie"
"Muqqadimah"
"Description of Africa"
As a Berber myself, it's indeed a fact that the majority of North Africans aren't Berber but Arab, Kouloughli, Andalusian, mixed or Black.
Only a minority is true Berber, but it's also a fact that some pure Arabised Berber tribes do exist like the Ghiata of Morocco and the Ouresenis & Trara tribes of Algeria they speak Arabic but are not Arabs. It's also a fact that Berberised Arab clans and tribes exist, a big part of the Riffian people are of Arab origin but are Berberised, like the Imbraten sub tribe of the Ait Waryagher tribe and the Igarbiyen sub tribe of the Ait Touzine tribe. All Kabyles are pure bred Berbers(not of European origin), except for the Marabout Kabyles who are of Arab origin and some Kabylised villages and clans in the Boumedres area who are of Kouloughli origin
