You mean that load of tosh that basically says "you don't know, it might have been like this"? Yeah, and the Earth is flat...

"We know of African kings in Constantinople on pilgrimage to Spain; we know of black Moors in Spain; we know of extensive travel of Jews from the courts of Cordoba and Damascus; we also know of black people in large cities in Germany," the historian, Sean Miller, tells me. Czech cities Olomouc and Prague were on the famous Silk Road which facilitated the trade of goods all over the world. If you plot a line between them, it runs directly through the area recreated in Kingdom Come.
That's the part that was omitted from the OP. I'm not a historian, so I can't speak to the validity, but the actual argument was much more than "you don't know, it might have been like this?" Although, the OP cherry picked parts of the review to make it seem like that.

So you want to argue just so you can accuse the OP of something?

He was clearly joking sarcastically.

I know and I was when I answered... he used some terms (like taxist) that in Brazil we use when joking about calling others racist, misogynist, etc. I'm almost sure he understood I was joking as well.

"while over there bedding a noble and having one-night stands. That's in addition to my Troubadour perk which makes me even more irresistible to women and lets me use the "bathwenches" for free, which ties into a key mechanic of keeping yourself clean and patched up. It also means I get the Alpha Male buff (+2 to Charisma) because I've been satisfied and apparently it shows. It literally says that." I love how this upstanding respectable antiracist womenrespecting man, in this game of tons of options, immediately dives into all the "deplorable" perks and skills and then complains. It sounds just like when people complained about being able to run over women in GTA. Well, spoiler alert, you can also choose to NOT run over them. The point is to have the option to do what you want and form your own story.

Nope, we can't let anything bad happen to girls and black people in movies and games... but then we will complain about the main role not being portrayed by a woman on a movie that she will suffer corporal abuse, because then we should tone down the movie to avoid the culture of abuse of women.

They really should review Personal 5. That game lacks diversity, has a few homophobic moments. You can date allmost all female characters at the sake time and glutony gets awarded. Anyway another rant like having to many black zombies in RE5 which took place in Africa.

They really are consistent on their crazyness.
I also love when they drive themselves in a corner... just like the Master of None's actor.

It's totally cool if you only run over men though. Reminds me of the cyber bullying against women adds. Like cyber bullying against men doesn't take place or the crime is not as bad as long as the victim has a penis.

Or when talking about violence in Brazil, where 90%+ of homicide victims are man, but we should fight against the violence against woman. Or the statistics that put all crimes that happened against woman, black or gay as a hate crime instead of a symptom of the generalized violence in the country (we had a case of someone on a gay couple killing the partner and being classified as a homophobic crime).

Yeah but all the characters in Persona 5 are east Asian. Things only lack diversity if it's Caucasians

If your story takes places on Norway during viking times and you have all people being latins, asians and blacks you have all the diversity you need... white people are over represented so take them out and keep diversity (I haven't ever seen anyone complaining about the lack of diversity on black only series)... nowadays we have movies that they want someone to do the census of how many of each ethnicity was presented and if it matches current USA population, doesn't matter if you have good actors of that race to hire or if the timeframe and place of the story would make sense with that population.
