The discussion was about the assumption made by some archeologists that the Egyptians could not have built the pyramids because Egyptians were black. My question was made sarcastically to point out the Egyptians aren't black, and even if they were that doesn't preclude their ability to construct the pyramids.
It had nothing to do with Americans, as most of those making the assumptions were not Americans. The French, under Napoleon, for starters. But I guess attacking Americans without understanding the context of the discussion is pretty standard practice these days, so I'm not surprised.
