<p>Yes, my father was born and raised in Alexandria and is dark-skinned, and while I don’t have his skin tone I’m far from light skinned.</p>
<p>I find it interesting that you stated Egypt is not considered African-American. I’ve had this argument multiple times, and can’t imagine how it is not. Just like I am Latin-American because my mother is from a Latin country, I am African-American in the sense that my father was born and raised in an African country. Not to go into much detail, but I think it’s unfair to exclude someone from Egypt from being considered “African-American”. What’s more African than being from the continent!?</p>
<p>And please Shrinkrap, I hope you do not take this as an argument directed at you. I appreciate your response tons</p>
