I provided a link with the full review. I can't copy the whole review so anyone could be accused of "selective editing" if they try use an article in their thread. I chose the most relevant parts of the review to my thread. Even with everything the one historian he could find that agrees with him, brought up, his theory banked entirely on "if one got sick, stayed at inn, knocked up girl/got pregnant" . That's just alot of wishful.

Nobody has asked you to post the full review, but when you make a thread about a certain portion of a review or an article, you are supposed to put all of the relevant text into the original post. The explanation of the historian why there could have been people of color was only one paragraph long, but you chose to butcher it anyway.

Injecting political topics into video games or video game reviews is something that I don't like, but the same goes for selective quoting and therefore misrepresentation of a subject. The final portion of that game review was awkward, but so is your presentation of the topic you wanted to discuss.

 I put what was relevant to me and to my point. The part I left out was absurd in my opinion and it wouldn't have changed what the one historian was trying to say or work against the point I was making. The premise of his counter argument was on very slim possibilities (like winning the lottery) and not on any kind of proof.  Where's the proof of the bunches of interracial couples/offspring or "people of color" in that area and time period to say that it wasn't historically accurate to say that there weren't multiple races of color walking around? There's not any. 

I wrote everything with idea that people would read the review and decide for themselves if my assertion that the review was a sjw review (which no one actually challenged) or not.  Even without reading the review, what I left out wouldn't make or break my claim that it was a sjw review.
