Black Greeks?
http://www.civ3.com/images/screenshots/foreign.jpg

Since when is Cleopatra considered black? Black Egyptians are merely improbable -- they did portray themselves as kilometre-tall giants, so they might have gotten their skin colour wrong -- but black Greeks seem as likely as finding a specific quark in an asteroid belt.

Tsk, tsk, St. Leo.

You're supposed to say "ethnic minority" or "afro-carribean" - not black!

RACIST! (j/k)

Ever since Afrocentrists decided to rewrite, errr, correct history. You'll be surprised to learn that Socrates was black, errr, African as well.
