it's so weird when racist people are like, showing diverse characters or people of colour in historical media is inaccurate. when if you read just about any older book ever there are generally plenty of them!

#i guess it's complicated because often the representation is flawed and Not Great by modern standards #but that doesn't mean it isn't there!#idk the more older books i read the more arguments people make that everyone in the past and in old books were just white and british seems #so silly to me #sorry this is probably stating the obvious bc i feel like we all know this. but also sometimes you see really dumb takes on twitter from #people who apparently do not know this because idk they don't read anything that isn't the daily m*il probably
