Meh, it's generally mostly racist black Americans trying to claim historical people who never were black and then cry racism when they get criticised for it. Which is esepcially dumb because... come on, there are actual black African queens who have little to no bigger documentaries about them, Cleopatra has been done far too often anyway, why would you do this other than to create outrage?

"Everything good about Ancient Egypt was black Nubians and White people are hiding the evidence" is an article of religious faith (sometimes literally, in the case of some BHI groups) for some strains of American Black Nationalism, going back at least 150 years. It's very deeply rooted conspiracy theory that's pretty much mainstream belief in some Black communities. They do that because they honestly believe that Cleopatra (and pretty much all the other Pharaohs) were Black and you won't be able to convince them otherwise.

Actual Egyptians generally hate this even more than they hate the "pyramids are magic" ones. Partly because of colorism, partly because it's actually pretty racist against Egyptian people.

But don't count out the plain white supremacists who just hate that Cleopatra is being played by a black person, they're still in it.
