I’m not arguing about Othello’s blackness. It’s obvious from reading it that Shakespeare depicted and thought of him as being a black Moor.
Black Moors did exist, I just disagree with the whole narrative of presenting all of them as black when most of them were in fact Arab and Berber. The Elites were also mostly Arabs originating from the Arabian peninsular, The Caliph and his family belonged to the Umayyad dynasty who were in fact Quraishi so arguing that they were all or mostly Sub-Saharan African is a joke.
Do u know who were the Mamaluqs?
