Their apparent racial ethnicity has usually reflected the dominant ethnic appearance of the people of the region the work of art was created in...again, big shocker: almost universally, people depict what they are familiar with in their art. <br /><br /> If someone wants to bitch about the past, they should first educate themselves just a smidge further than a mediocre college 'woke studies' course before they utter a single thing. <br /><br /><br /><br /> “What a terrible era in which idiots govern the blind.”<br /><br />― William Shakespeare, Julius Caesar CFTnoreply@blogger.com
