Name a black person in 15th century Bohemia. If they were some black people in that era, it should be easy to name one.

This seems to be what started the entire thing. Someone gave a bunch of arguments why the dev was wrong, then people got super pissed at SJWs.
I struggle to see how "you can't name a black person in 15th century Bohemia" implies "people of color in 15th century Bohemia were very very rare". Maybe my logic is weak.

So first off a Tumblr called "MedievalPoC" is you source here?

And what's wrong? They never give an example of black people in Bohemia, just that paintings depicting Africans were done. People were always interested in culture outside their own why do you think Aladdin "takes place" in China?

And yes, the burden of proof is on the person claiming they were around in number. That's how it works. Weird how there are documented communities for some minorities like Jews and Turkic people but not for black people almost like they weren't present there
