"Umm, most Egyptians IDENTIFY as Arabs."
Cleopatra was of Greek ancestry and has been described by historians of her time as having "Greek" looks/physical features. You can tell who the ignorant people are; they haven't studied ancient history. They should get someone Mediterranean-looking to play her. -

Actually Tunisia use to be use the Roman Emirpe there aren't that many dark skinned Tunisian unless they are from the south close to the sahara. I know this because I live in Tunisia. People of Anicent Egypt were both white and black. And Cleopata could be played by anyone. If you want the perfect Cleopata than cast a ugly actress to play her. because Cleopata was in fact an ugly woman.

Cleopatra was dark end of story(please do some research) it frustrates me how a lot of people will still deny that Egyptians were dark In films today the look middle eastern or Hispanic when that was clearly not the case back then.

It actually was because they (white people back then) didn't believe that black people or people of a darker hue could be smart enough to actually come up with some of the architectural designs that they did. Another weird they did was knock the noses off of some of the bust so that it would be less obvious, though there are some statues left in complete form.

Cleopatra's ancestors being macedonian not greek is the only connection she has to being macedonian but cleopatra was born in egypt north africa that would make her an african citizen. The discovery channel made a documentary called cleopatra portrait of a killer it reveals that cleopatra's sister arsinoe had african features in her considering arsinoe was well known to being beautiful.
