That's because of their sheer numbers (largest immigrant group) + Islamophobia ..nothing racial really.
I think it's that... but the fact that they're brown people doesn't help either. Even then, my statement stands... Southern Europeans don't and have never considered North Africans "brothers".

Thank you for your "evidence" from a Hellenic writer who lived some 2000 years after the death of King Sesostris.

Do you call that Egypt influencing the Middle East? There was a continual flow for centuries and even millenias from the Middle East to Egypt, while there was no such flow from Egypt to the Middle East. Egyptians even speak a Semitic language today.
and Middle Easterners speak Semitic languages.

The ancient Mesopotamian and Levantine (Fertile Crescent) civilizations arose much earlier than ancient Egypt and Assyria conquered and destroyed Egypt. Ancient Egypt was a significant historical civilization however it's vastly overshadowed by the ancient Fertile Crescent civilizations and their lasting influence is far greater than Egypt's. Anyone that denies that is ignorant of history, just go ahead and confirm it.
Urban developed earlier in Mesopotamia is modern day Iraq, but Egypt was the first state... the first monarchy was in Nubia. No reason to bring up the Levant, civilization development in that region isn't as old in comparison to it's neighbors. The Levant's earliest contribution to human civilization was the Near Eastern Neolithic... which was the product of a mixed society of African immigrants and local peoples. And I have disagree, Egypt's influence on the world is much more greater than that of Sumer or Assyria, not that it really mattered.

Assyria conquered an already wounded Egypt, and then lost it.
