Right wing commentator schooled on how Roman Britain actually had tons of blacks
-
There was a semi-recent incident that occurred online where a guy argues, seemingly earnestly, that Mediterraneans (who I was suppose look a bit swarthy?) existing in the Roman empire refutes the criticism of the BBCs recent educational cartoon that portrays blacks being in noticeable numbers in ancient Roman Britain.
It's kinda obvious that the guy doing the 'schooling' here was essentially ignoring the elephant in the room due to wanting do engage in fallacious fact checking, since he never actually touched on how sub Saharan Africans would be existing in Roman Britain in significant numbers. But that's pretty weird in its own right to try going into some weird diatribe to declare someone wrong while never bothering to ask the simple question of "why do you think that?" which could kinda help with trying to understand that person's point of view.
