Well, I for one, don't want to hold black people as circus animals either, unless it's what they want, and I think that's only a few that do. My position is simple... you're a nice person and don't attack people for nothing, whether you're white, black, asian, blue... whatever, we're good. I just don't like this "diversity" shit because it's forcing people to like black people because they're black. I like Morgan Freeman, or Samuel L Jackson or whatever just fine, but not because they're black, but because they're good actors. What I don't like is a random gangbanger, even if they're white.
Anyway, the point of this game is that it's historically accurate. And in those times, populations were kind of isolated, most people didn't leave their villages their whole lives. Thus, central europeans were... drum roll ... mostly white, because black people didn't travel far enough to mingle with them. This whole screaming about diversity is fueling racism, not eradicating it.
