Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No bigotry of any kind, including ironic bigotry.

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: Do not post public figures, these should be posted to c/gossip

A guy from China (Rabban Bar Sawma) visited Europe in the the 13th century. He met the Eastern Roman Emperor, the King of France, the Pope etc.

And that was China. China! North Africa and the Middle East were a relatively close boat trip. Vikings went to Constantinople.

In the Roman empire a citizen from Numidia might serve in Germania. Throughout most modern, middle ages and classical history it's quite possible to have non white people in Europe.
