      Asians of the day in regency England WERE peasants. But what are facts when agendists are busy remaking history into what it was not - especially when it comes to uplifting the non-white races into being of the elite when they were far from it. Very far from it.

      @@jjai471 I see what you're trying to say, and in fact it could be seen that way. But this is fiction, and as I see from this short clip, the cast is perfect for the roles, omy, can't possibly imagine other actors playing the parts better, so... Also there has been a lot of shows and movies that historically shouldn't have been played by caucasian people but they were, and that's alright, as long as the role fits. I think equality will be more achieved if we stop focusing on these superficial qualities and see the actual qualities that matter, in their case, personality and talent.

      Dottie Ndots Historical accuracy? Europe was a melting pot and had a high population of people from Africa as well as Asia (whom England would have been trading with for years at this point). Hell, early King Arthur stories utilized middle eastern court ideals which is why we have stories like Gwain and the Green Knight (who is coincidentally going to be played by an Indian/British actor, so perfect casting tbh). It’s actually historically inaccurate to NOT have people from different ethnic backgrounds in period dramas. Heathcliff in Wuthering Heights is actually heavily debated to be biracial or of Asian descent due to the description of his skin and the sea port he is from in the book. Plays, movies, and popular culture just chose to erase any non-white people from the setting up until recently.

      Well, not quite. Julia Quinn, the author of Bridgerton, wrote all of the characters to be white. True to the era because Quinn is a historical romance writer. Until black agendist Shonda Rhimes got ahold of the story and make the queen, the male lead, half the ladies in waiting and more - black. That was not possible during that era, but what's facts when there's an agenda to push.

You'd also see women with no makeup, who've never shaved anywhere, or plucked their bushy eyebrows.

      It's also a good way to blur the lines between history and fantasy.

It's a nice way of re-writing history and confusing future generations. Imagine your kids or your grand children going around believing that black people were part of 17 and 18th century English nobility! So then they might wonder what happened? Did black people really get mistreated like some of the whiny snowflaky bitchy SJW types are claiming??? Maybe it's just exaggerated nonsense? Maybe its reverse racism against white folk? Maybe the civil rights movement is just a myth to promote the cause of black people for no good reason?

      And I know that some people would like to draw an inference from the fact that there were black Tudors to the conclusion that blacks were no more or less oppressed than white Tudors. It's telling how writers like Miranda Kaufmann can pluck out 10 historical examples from hundreds of records of black tudors and use those examples to argue that England was not a monoculture and was in fact populate by immigratns from Africa for many centuries - Yet there are people who want to conclude from this that therefore blacks were no more mistreated than white folks!

      The 2nd Earl of Liverpool, Prime Minister of England, had as n Anglo-Indian mother Amelia Watts, and an Anglo-Indian grandmother "Begum Johnson". I believe he was one eighth to one sixteenth Indian.
      Queen Charlotte, born a German princess, was visibly part African in ancestry. It is now believed that General Hannibal, Peter the Great's African slave, was her biological father or maternal grandfather. His famous great -grandson Alexander Pushkin was definitely of part African descent. There were two illegitimate Medici scions in the 16th century who had part African ancestry.
      What the story doesn't tell me is how the youngest son of a British earl looks mostly African. Was his mother a second wife and a freed or a freeborn African woman? A rare marriage but such marriages happened in the later Victorian age.
      The heroine being part Asian or Indian or African in ancestry can be easily explained. She was perhaps another Dido Belle, a much loved natural child made heiress by a self made father. Or the daughter of such a woman. Jane Austen's Sanditon features a West Indian heiress. The novel Jane Eyre has Bertha Rochester who is implied to have African ancestry. (Yes, I am aware this is Freida Pinto, who is Indian).
