Question about the scene in True Romance

Factual Questions
1

The one where Dennis Hopper is being interrogated by Christopher Walken, is what Dennis Hopper says in that scene accurate?

Mild spoiler below:

For those who haven’t seen the movie, Dennis Hopper’s character is antagonizing Walken’s character because he knows Walken’s character is about to do something bad to him. So Hopper states that Italy was invaded by blacks in the past and had sex with all the Italian women, that’s why Italians have a darker color to them, because they have black blood running through their veins.

He states it in a much more vulgar and racist way, though.

Is what he says accurate?

Sicily was conquered by the Arabs. So only if you consider Arabs to be a derogatory word for black would it be true. Although it’s quite likely that some of the “Arabs” that conquered Sicily were what we would consider black today, most of them probably weren’t.

I dunno about invaded. However, the Romans took slaves fromall over the known world including Africa. A great many were freed, and had children who were treated as free born Roman citizens. I don’t think colour was any kind of bar to marriages in that society.

We had a minor hijack of another thread, a few weeks ago, discussing this issue:

The Africans who invaded Sicily were from Poland (while earlier African invaders were Greek).
Correction: the Greeks were Persians.
Correction acknowledged.
Correction: there were African African invaders, as well.
Correction acknowledged, while noting that the Arab Africans who invaded were still not the sub-Saharan black ethnic groups to which Hopper’s character alluded in the movie.

I beleive they would have Moorish not Arab. My understanding is that the Moors are what are nowadays referred to as Berbers. Modern Berbers are significantly darker skinned than Arabs, but not sub-saharan African … to the casual western eye (i.e. mine on a recent trip to morrocco) they look more Indian than Arab.

Though I would like confirmation on the whole Berber=Moor from someone with more knowledge. In Europe (Britain at least) Moors are historically thought of as sub-saharan (“black” skin and “fuzzy” hair, as in the “black-a-moor” stereotype), but this description clearly does not match modern Berber.
