We had to have a diverse array of skin tones in these Vikings, but they went out of their way to make sure no pointy horns were on their heads... What kind of Viking games are they playing?
Greetings!
*Laughing* Exactly, my friend! No, no, we can't have pointy, horned helmets--but dark brown-skinned Vikings are just fine!
You know, most of Northern and Western Europe was so fucking pale white in colour, and unaccustomed to seeing anyone that looked darker than themselves--that for many years, centuries even, the French were considered to be "exotic" looking and "alluring" primarily because they were considered to be darkly coloured.
And yes, we know the French are white. *Laughing*Of course, the Greeks too, were considered dark and exotic. It always struck me as funny because yes, the Greeks are olive coloured and a bit darker of course...but the French are exotic and dark? *laughing*
But there must have been dark skinned Indians or Black Africans in the Viking north, right?
That whole historical revisionism just drives me fucking crazy. These drooling fucking Liberals are supposed to be "educated"--and yet, they are so woefully uneducated that they cannot see that them wanting to put whatever rainbow coloured people all over white fucking Europe doesn't have a damned thing to do with history--and everything to do with ideology and politics. It is writing history to suit their ideology and politics, rather than allowing the truth to be embraced.
I need to light up my pipe!:D And get some fresh coffee going!
