I've met quite a few Egyptians, she doesn't look Egyptian. Not that Hollywood cares about that kind of stuff, but still.

At least she looks *slightly* more Egyptian than all those Irish they keep casting for that kind of movie...

But no thanks. How about, I dunno, casting Egyptian actors?

So it's alright for Indians to be cast as Egyptians but not white people?

Why not cast the REAL Egyptian looking people for the film, that were Black!!!, not Whites or SouthEast Asians.

Because Egyptians are NOT black. North African people have different skin tone and features than the people from south. That includes Algeria, Egypt, Libya etc. If you look at REAL Egyptian actors (Soad Hosny, Ahmed Zaki, Omar Sharif) they are much more similar to Indians or Middle Eastern people in appearance than to black people.
