There is a kernel of truth to it. Ancient Greek and Roman statues and buildings were not the dusty white color they are now, they were once vividly painted, but the paint's been worn away.
However, saying that historians view the ancients as white because they are depicted in white marble is idiotic. You can tell by looking at a statue of Julius Caesar that he is white, not a Kangz. Also, the part where the author of the article whines about how he was a Kangz is pretty hilarious. The ancient Greeks and Romans were probably whiter than modern Greeks and Italians, due to a thousand years of Arab and Turkish admixture.

Go into any museum today and you'll find a white marble statue or two
Couldn't even make it one sentence huh? Literally any museum.

Everything is racist.
Piece by piece, bit by bit, they are starting to figure it out, albeit slowly. Even the concept of non-racism is inherently racist.

They got rid of the flag because it was a reminder of racism. 'it should be in a museum!'
They closed down the museum because it was a reminder of racism. 'it should be in private collections!'
They killed the private collectors, because they were a reminder of racism. 'no one should own such hate!'
Finally, as your heritage burns to ash, your legacy destroyed your history covered up, you ask 'is it over? is there nothing left to remind you of racism?'
They turn, and say, 'there is one thing left, the most hateful object of them all, the source of all this evil.'
Elated that only one thing remains that has drawn the Ire of Them, you ask, face beaming at the thought of the horror coming to a rapid end, 'What?'
They turn and point at it.
'You.'

At least saying it so much is making it useless so eventually they'll have to STFU and use something else.
