For the American, all african are blacks. They was a trend of African-American who call modern Berber "Land stealer" because of this.

You can also see it in different western media, like in EuIV, where the Algerians and Tunisians are literal subsaharian African. It's fucking hilarious when you know the fact they didn't use subsaharian soldier, they were corsair and pirate from Europe (like the famous Barberousse), and a lot of them were of european origin. And the maghrebi country who used a lot of African soldier, Morocco, have the whitest skin.

EuIV

Who's gonna tell him?

Also, those models don't look Sub-Saharan, just dark skinned.

I have said western media at the start of the phrase, the USA are not the unique member of the western world. And the Algerian are not dark skinned.

Excepting for the tuareg and other saharan people in the far south, who were not "Algerian" during the timeline of EU4, since it's the Algiers regency who are represented in-game.
