Default If Africans were Europeans (my comparisons)
not sure if a thread like this has been made before but if not...here goes it.

I apologize in advance if this offends you...but this is the way I see it.



Niger Congolese (West Africans) = Anglo-Saxons

Bantus = Germanics

Nilotics = Slavs

Fulani = Gypsies

Tuaregs = Kurds

Ethiopians & Eritreans = Mediterannean-Latin-Roman

Somalis = Sicilians

Arabs = Turks

Copts = Armenians

Berbers = Persians




what do u think?


add your own version if you like

afars=gypsies (no offence)
since they live in three different countries (Djibouti, Ethiopia, Eritrea)

Djiboutians = Belgians
the country is divided into two groups the afars and the Issa's they remind me off Flemish and the Walloon divide, in addition both countries are tiny.


edit: to be honest i am confused i don't really understand this particular thread

I don't understand what you are trying to do.

A few things however: there are no Arabs in Africa. Persians, Turks, Gypsies, Kurds and Armenians aren't "europeans".

Zulu. Like the Vikings, they kicked a remarkable amount of ass.

I thought that as well, but I don't think they'd fare naval wise -- I can't recall Zulus having ships, not even rafts.

All the tribes that converted to Islam would be Anglo-Saxons...imo not all West Africans
Islam really catapulted a lot of cultures

Uh...Due to centuries of arab invasion...North Africa has more in common with Arabia than the rest of Africa..There are more arabs in Africa(predomitely the Northern region) than anywhere else on the planet,

I'm not sure what you are basing those comparisons on but a couple that that stand out to me cause I dissagree are

Copts,arabs , and even many socalled Berbers(of arab or European orign) would be more equivalent the Ashenazi/European Jews

some reasons for the comparisons:



Fulani = Gypsies

  • unknown origins
  • known for banditry
  • spread all over west africa
  • many people don't trust them



Ethiopians and Eritreans = Medits/Latin


  • women are known for their beauty and attractiveness
  • they are racially admixed for the most part
  • christianity as a state religion



Arabs = Turks


  • most Africans don't really see them as culturally compatible with the rest of continent
  • have a presence on two continents
  • embrace of Islam

Report it to a Mod, they can delete it, but before they will delete it, do you mind explaining the rest of the comparison here:

Niger Congolese (West Africans) = Anglo-Saxons

Bantus = Germanics

Nilotics = Slavs

Fulani = Gypsies //already explained

Tuaregs = Kurds

Ethiopians & Eritreans = Mediterannean-Latin-Roman // already explained

Somalis = Sicilians

Arabs = Turks // already explained

Copts = Armenians

Berbers = Persians

a lot of it was simplistic and subjective

doesn`t make sense to elaborate

Well if you explained your reasoning for each comparison it might be a useful thread, otherwise it just complete gibberish.

a lot of it was simplistic and stereotypical

so I don`t want to elaborate on it so as to not offend anyone

I`d prefer the thread be locked or deleted

Uh... no, Berbers are indigenous to North Africa and of course they have more to do with middle easterners and Southern Europeans than with subsaharan Africans.



Anyway, I think his thread is useless.
