British women look like that today. Even the contacts are on point!

This video was recommended on a 'We Wuz Kangz' search lol

[PlimsollHero]

They forgot to give him a beard, unless they knew he shaved

[hudhaf]

Ironic that cheddar man couldnt digest milk...

[izzydavis]

Pretty cruel name to give someone who can't digest dairy 😉

I typed “we wuz kangz” because of the Netflix’s Cleopatra documentary, and this video was the second of the results😂

Putting a new meaning on BBC programming

[roroforo]

dark skin doesn't mean they are related to african. their face structure is different. we are still different races

Who's back after this was proven to be bollocks?

Reminds me why I don't spend £150 a year on a tv license.

Even if they had dark skin, that wouldn't mean they were genetically similar to sub-saharan Africans.

Looks like a regular British lass to me....

And cleopatra was black, ancient britons were black and if I’m not mistaken the BBC claims black Vikings and Roman’s too.

Of course 🤦🏿‍♂️

Lots of scientists have concluded that it’s impossible to know his skin colour from the testing they used…

[yagsipcc]

his skin would not of been nearly that dark, as shown by the paper he was most likely a medium light skin tone (sort of a more Spanish skin tone) They done this despite the data that is what people are talking about the data.

No they didn’t, European people are white

[LondonPestControl]

completely disproven but the BBC will of course not make a retraction

[jo]

I searched for 'WE Wuz Kangz' and this was one of the results.

And they wonder why Science is not taken serious nowadays 🤣😂
