This but unironically. African-American genetics have got considerable Caucasian admixture from all those slaveowners carrying on affairs with their slaves, like 24% white ancestry from the last study I saw on the subject (from 2015). Meanwhile the Greek Ptolemaic dynasty took up the Egyptian tradition of brother-sister inbreeding, and only occasionally branched out to intermarry with their Greco-Persian Seleucid neighbors. Even when they took mistresses, the Ptolemaic Pharaohs' known concubines were all fellow Greeks (from either Alexandria or Cyrene, a Greek colony which long predated the first Ptolemy & Alexander).

So yeah, it's literally more likely that MLK was part-white than it is that Cleopatra was part-black (sub-Saharan African), or even Egyptian. Frankly, much more likely at that. (The Ptolemies generally had a much more elitist attitude toward their Egyptian subjects than the Seleucids had toward their Persian & other Asiatic subjects, and certainly weren't known for taking Egyptian wives, much less sub-Saharan black ones.)

Western European like English possibly, certainly not any sort of Caucasian.

Who have began arriving in America only really recently, besides a bit more established Armenians.

You know what I mean. Now sure, professional historians & anthropologists may have moved past that, but colloquially the term 'Caucasian' is still treated as synonymous with 'white' generally around here.

Anyway, doesn't change my point, which is that MLK having white ancestry is vastly likelier than Cleopatra having a drop of sub-Saharan blood in his her family tree going back to the very first Ptolemy. In fact it's not even likely but certain; following even a few pages on Wikipedia is enough to lead one to proof (by way of both research done by MLK's own relatives and DNA testing) that one of MLK's ancestors was an Irishman.

Everyone should because the Caucasians are specific nations. The only point of confusion should be only between those from the region generally and those speaking the many Caucasian family languages (which aren't Indo-European).

one of MLK's ancestors was an Irishman.
