    If you’re passing them off as just regular people nbd in that setting then yeah that’d be inaccurate.

    Then again, plopping in random white people into an Ancient Chinese setting would be pretty inaccurate too, even though there might’ve been “some non zero number” of whites over there at the time. Or in a random crowd shot of Nazi soldiers you plop in a few black soldiers. Certainly existed, but while funny it does make it seem inaccurate (and silly imo).

        It’s all about diversity in my Nazi soldier representation. The Asian woman was top tier decision from Gemini

      Ancient China did have a lot of Central Asian and Turkic white people. Red hair, blue eyes and all. They just weren’t European whites.

        I think the implication of European whites was clear from the comment though
