People who crow about how “historical accuracy” means historical narratives should be all white are boring and ignorant.

We live in a world where Japanese Samurai were part of the Mexican colonial militia in the 1500s (http://happenedstrangely.blogspot.com/2012/02/aztecs-and-samurai.html?m=1 ) and an Arab traveller witnessed and documented a Viking ship burial in Russia in the 10th century ( https://www.jstor.org/stable/10.1086/604698?seq=1#page_scan_tab_contents )

History is grand and strange and true periods of isolationism and ethnic hemogyny are rare.

Who are you even talking about I’ve never heard people complaining about this, do you have anyone in specific who does this?

I don’t know if you’re being purposely ignorant, but this shit happens all the time. Also applies to those who complain about “forced diversity” in fantasy films

Congrats you found one tweet about some random fucker complaining. Also were there any black romans? I don’t know.

You said you have NEVER heard people complain about this. They provided an example of someone complaining about it. Don’t shift goal posts. 

And yes, there were Black Romans. The Roman Empire included, like, parts of Africa. 

@segashark Log onto Twitter yourself and run a search for “historical accuracy.” Do the work yourself.
