In any case, at Roman York's "The Railway" cemetery, the detailed analysis in this paper (https://twitter.com/caitlinrgreen/status/744286383771127808 …) suggested that at least >

I don't think anybody was saying NO pple of African ancestry, the discussion was *Representativeness* & typicality of scene.

I think it started out one way and then developed into that once it became unsustainable, iirc, though it may be that I'm misremembering! :)

I am sure that you agree: history shd be accurate representation of past empirical reality not cherry-picked saliency/ availability biases.

When sources are fragmentary 'accuracy' & 'representativeness' are v different & latter often beyond reach - so must try to indicate range.

Erm. The Trolls (Realists) said 'No Black People'. NOT 'No Africans' (North) that would be silly, wouldn't it?

No, that's not accurate. Initial tweet actually said not ethnically diverse, not that there was noone at all.
