It's not as simple as that. Do a Google image search for 'Tuareg' and you'll find a number of faces that meet modern British (and American) conceptions of 'black'.
- berntb 10y agoConsidering the large slave trade that filled the harems etc with black female slaves, there should be quite a lot of black ancestry in the Arab world? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_slavery_in_the_Muslim_world#Arab_slave_trade https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_slavery_in_the_Musl... But the Tuaregs were isolated from that type of immigration?

I didn't put it in overly simplistic terms. I said it "is generally not black", not "it is not black" or "it is never black". I was referring to the majority, rather making a blanket characterization about all North Africans.
