You know, all the dudes that spout shit about PoC in a medieval-themed game would be inaccurate? They never get upset about potatoes.

I had pockets full of potatoes before I bounced the fuck out of Witcher 3. Which according to its defenders takes place in _Medieval_ Poland

You know what definitely didn't exist in Medieval Poland? The potato. You know why? BECAUSE SPAIN HADN'T BEEN TO PERU YET.

And Spain wouldn't get its shit together to bring the potato back to Europe until the mid-late 16th century.

So in conclusion: Medieval Europe had more People of Color than potatoes. This is a well-documented, easily provable fact.
