I mean Jesus was more important than her from a mythology standpoint and we don’t have a problem with him being whatever race we make him (I.e he’s Asian in Japan, white in most of the west, etc) when he is very much none of those things.
Right, you could have just googled "jesus depictions" and realised your position is wrong but instead you went ahead and just lied to the whole class huh? Why are you like this?
The same way you googled: Troy, Mycenaean era, etc. and decided to say yeah races that did not venture in those geographical places or at least there is no record that verifies it. Let alone hold suxh position like the current depiction of Helen.
Granted, the jesus stuff was a fuck up from my side and something that I didn't intend to venture too.

What are you talking about? I never claimed anything about geography or regional migration in the bronze age (at least in this thread).
Or is it because you're upset about the idea of a black person being in Greece during the bronze age? Mycenaean trade included Egypt and the Levant, we know this because of shipwrecks and their goods. Helen probably wasn't black yeah, but I really don't care all that much. Personally I'd use someone with more stereotypically Grecian features but I just don't think it's worth getting worked up about.
