Not you using fickle race science and complaining about how she's erasing the diversity of north africa while erasing black north africans https://twitter.com/yodelingye/status/1353884524908859394
"Beyonce is disrespecting Egyptian culture" you're disrespecting my eyes and I don't even care about beyonce
Like this is not it. There are instances where beyonce and other people who aren't Egyptian do things harmful or disrespectful to Egyptians (specifically Indigenous ones) but dressing up like Nefertiti isn't that?
Like for example the commodification of say, the term Nubian and people claiming to be Nubian when they aren't is a problem (that I've seen Nubians talk about). People who get grabby over ancient Indigenous knowledge (usually of spirituality) is a problem. This is harmless.
