Im seeing a lot of new videos of beethoven beeing black or of north african heritige. I know history has whitewashed many people, but beethoven seems odd due to living in german lands. So was he black, arab or white?
This has been a popular subject of discussion for a while now, and has specifically popped up again recently because of that viral article claiming that he was black. We have received a few questions along these lines in the past few hours; please see my answer to one of them here.
