Reply to comment by sweetpeapickle in Why still the push for "woke" tv-shows and movies, when almost all of them result in a flop? by [deleted]

Because a medieval village does not have random characters from different races that never showed up in that series before. Are you guys dumb or simply results of the US education system? WTF?

It’s time to rethink everything we know about the presence of black people in Europe during this time period. The picture of the middle ages isn’t accurate without them.

See this is why I think you’re an idiot.

You’re not even reading your own articles. Surely there were in trading ports and big cities and castles. Surely not regularly in village towns with a handful of houses.

Ah yea I didn’t think of that. Surely it would be impossible for any of the thousands of black people in cities to ever appear in a village.
