Stonehenge was built by Mesolithic hunter gatherers though? They were dark complected.

You really think folks speculating about the origin of stonehenge decades ago were thinking "this couldn't have been built by people of dark complection!". That is a very extreme reach.
I have no idea, but one person said that alien architect theories were racist:
Then you said they say the same thing about Stonehenge prompting capital to say:
I just don't see how bringing Stonehenge into it is a gotcha that proves it's not racism, since it was also built by brown people.
And yet, no one knew that when these theories were being thought up
Or it was early European farmers from the Eastern Mediterranean. Who cares what color they were?
But in reality, fucking no one thinks about race when they speculate aliens might be involved in stuff like this.
They generally think “there’s no way people were this advanced way back then”.
People should stop shoehorning race into everything.
