>Living in Portugal, Spain, Austria, the Netherlands, France, Germany, Italy, and England. International trading cities such as Venice were multicultural magnets. 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.

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.
