Egyptian ethnicity?
How do you define Egyptians as an ethnicity, the vast majority of Egyptians are Arabs and then there are the Copts though they are slightly culturally Arabs today, maybe just linguistically or slightly culturally...How do you define modern egyptian ethnicity? Is it by stating a common descent from the ancient Egyptians, the borders for defining what was Egyptian then and what is Egyptian now aren't easily defined today? This is confusing even for me??? The Coptics and the Nubians do have acknowledged ties to the ancient Egyptians but can we overencompass the arab definition with that of acknowledging ancestral non-Egyptians, through acknowledging arab-ness where does one acknowledge ancient Egyptian ethnicity?DomDomsta333 (talk) 02:14, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
- Egyptians are an ethnicity and a nation. Hamada2 (talk) 02:43, 6 December 2007 (UTC) ethnicity ?? please read history first
- Yet again, the largest problem here is that it is just assumed that all Egyptians identify as "ethnic Egyptians", and the fact that many don't is completely ignored. The entire page is based on the fact that the CIA lists Egyptians as an ethnic group in their factbook. And I see the Arab world tag was removed, ridiculous, it's in again, for obvious reasons. The fact that the country is officially "Arab Republic of Egypt" is rationale enough. Funkynusayri (talk) 03:45, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
